Which would you choose, TS-E 17mm or EF14mm
I have a Canon 5D III (and some money to burn :-) )and would like to get a wide angle lens. Both TS-E 17mm and the EF 14mm seem to produce nice sharp images even out near the edges. I'd like anyones thoughts on either of these two lenses. I do mostly landscape/nature and some architecture. Some of my own thoughts:
+ 14mm - Wider (I currently own a 24-105f4) - 17mm - Not sure if 17mm is big enough of a difference over 24mm at these prices. - 14mm - No tilt and shift. + 17mm - Has tilt and shift, I can see shift being useful for architecture, but at 17mm is tilt going to have much effect on focus? + 14mm - Faster f2.8 - 17mm - Manual focus. At 17mm, this shouldn't be much of an issue, and the camera will give focus conformation. This would be for personal use. Thanks for any inputs. :-) |

Thanks for any inputs. :-) Very wide angles become toys after a while. 14mm distortion would be of concern. As for tilts and swings, not sure if this is necessary, or do you have a particular need, like macro work, or you could just keep the back vertical for architecture. IMHO I would get more enjoyment from a 17mm treated the correct way. You can easily stitch images to create a wider angle but I generally use a 24mm or 28mm to do this. |
