Currently I use a D810 and Nikkor 16-35mm with a lee filter kit using 4x6 filters. Addtionally a 10-stop and circularizer polarizer 77mm screw ins.
With doing more real estate and landscape, I'm really thinking that I'd like to get a T/S. But with Nikon offering 24mm as the widest, I'm seriously looking at the Canon 17mm option. Which leaves me these two cameras.
The 14-24 lens is great, but having to spend that money and invest in a whole new filter system which is large (in some cases ridiculously so) and an additional cost. The difference in cost between these lenses is about $450 CDN. The adapter ring for the 17mm is only $100 and I can use my existing Lee filters.
Overall what are you guy's thoughts on this? I really don't know what to think and I'm open to any suggestions or if I'm not thinking this through....Show more →
The Canon 17mm TS-E is not an amazing performer when significantly shifted on the 5DSR.
You haven't actually specified what your problem with the 16-35 is. If it is lack of capability to shift, the 14-24 does not address this regardless of cost or filter constraints. If it sharpness on the wide end, then certainly an upgrade to the 14-24 will offer an improvement.
Perhaps consider the Tamron 15-30 instead of the 14-24; personally I regard it as a superior lens to the Nikon (loss of 1mm on the wide end not withstanding) and it is much cheaper. The cost difference between the two lenses can fund the new filters you require. I just picked up a Tamron 15-30 a few days ago and have been very pleased with it, and I have previously owned (and sold) the 14-24.
The 5DSR represents a giant leap backwards in dynamic range, which should be important to you given you say you shoot landscapes.
The A7Rii with a Metabones adapter to use Canon lenses could also be an option, although as mentioned the 17mm TSE isn't a stellar performer when shifted on high-res sensors.
Unless you absolutely need shift (which from your post, it seems you do not as you are also considering the 14-24) I would stick with the D810.
