Hi, whether someone uses ts-e 45mm 2.8 for weddings? If so what are the experiences (sharpness, rendering, bokhe, af precision...etc.) and what is compared to TS-e 24mm f3.5 mk1 ...thanks!

I have the ts17, t24, and ts90. I did not get the ts45 because it is a bit weak in sharpness. It gets pretty good at f8 but not nearly as good as ts24 at f8. I use them for landscape. I am waiting patiently for a ts45 v2 from canon.

Summary: sharpness - average and must be stopped down, af precision = not available, bokeh = not great because you have to crank up the f-stop to get sharper, rendering = I don't know because I don't have it but I am very happy with TS17 or TS24 or TS90. However, no one buys TS45 for sharpess alone, they buy it to avoid bowed vertical lines (shift) or longer plane of focus in landscape (tilt) or miniaturization (reverse tilt).

a bit weak wide open but okay at f8

On the other hand, the TS17 and TS24 and ts90 are really good stopped down to f8 or f11:

Comparing Ts45 vs TS24:

Keep in mind that the ts24 can be used with the 1.4x to be about TS45.

I have not shot weddings myself but I think that the only reason you would buy it for weddings is the miniaturization. Because it does not autofocus and its not particularly sharp wide open. If you are getting it for avoiding vertical bowing (shift) I would get the ts24 and use a 1.4x - mind you that would be f5.6.

TS-E 45 - I wish Canon comes out with an update soon. It is a good landscape lens and for certain indoor photography (food on the table, for instance) but it is not the sharpest arrow in the TS quiver, and has noticeable CA.

What situations do you foresee using it in a wedding?

For shooting portraits the lens is great. Its sharp in the center with the prefect range for environmental portraits. For landscape and architecture the lens has soft edges with lots of CA.

I find it great at all apertures, minus CA that is correctable. Wide open it has a lush tonality and color, reminding one of smooth Leica graduations. Stopped down to f/5.6, the lens is all-around great. Perfect, no, but a bargain for what you get.

A version II? Will probably cost near $2,000. Enjoy the bargain that is now!

I prefer recent production, say 2006 to present for best coatings and probably less use. I think mine is UX code.
