Two stitched horizontal shots from the 17 TS-E at maximum shift. If you are looking for a detail rich environment you could not do better than this interior. No sharpening was applied.
Thanks very much for your Wow's. I am pretty excited by all this meaning that we can get results like this without resorting to medium format and all that entails.
This shot makes me think of my old Hasselblad SWC body and lens. It would not be this wide of course but produced results much like this I believe, meaning distortion free and universal sharpness.
I would love to have a medium format with a comparable lens focal length do this shot just for the sake of comparison.
They are suggesting that the 24 TS-E will even be better but I think this is already good enough.
And my comment was not to degrade the MF system - Mamiya / Hasselblad, a digital back and a Hartblei will compete and then some - but at a cost!
I had completely researched and was ready to purchase a digital MF system right before the economic downturn - a lot of the Architectural industry has slowed and marketing budgets cut - (for me) to invest in that format at the time seemed to be a high risk. In the interim the 35mm format has introduced affordable 21MP and two killer TS-E's. WOW!
Another one from me as well, Doug. I've got to ask, was this a single exposure? I know it's two stitched shots but it almost looks to be HDR-ish. Nothing wrong if it is, just a question
Dear lord you're killing me. Architecture shooting is my passion, and the 17 TS-E is my dream lens. I've got the 24 TS-E I, and while it's a good lens, the 17 looks to be an ultimate lens. I've actually contemplated, on several occasions, selling half my kit for this lens. I could come pretty close if I sold my 17-40L, Zeiss 85 Sonnar, Sigma 150 macro and 24 TS-E. The thing that's preventing me doing it is I'd have to give up my 17-40L for it, and while the TS-E would be fine in place of that for architectural shooting, I use my 17-40 for other things too, and I can't afford to lose that extra capability.
This is the Basilica Notre-Dame cathedral in Montreal. Every year just before Christmas there is a marvelous concert held here and every time I sit and listen to the concert and look at the surroundings hoping to photograph it some time.
There is no way you took this picture with a TS-E17mm and stiched it together!!! I demand that you hand over that lens and your talent to me!!!! This is a citizens arrest!!!
