That is amazing! It's the extra large image circle that's doing this.
When you have to shift, then you will have to stop down I expect, BUT,
you have got yourself an awesome prime here when shot wide open and unshifted.

It is an amazing lens.

The above photo was processed in DPP with default settings.

The focus confirm is very accurate and allows me to use this as a regular 24mm prime for general photography.

Impressive sharpness but why didn't you shift it up?

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

This is a test shot. Next you'll ask why I'm taking a picture of the side of a building!?!

Understood. Didn't think about that.

Not at all. One of the main subjects of TS lenses are buildings.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

I think many have a preconception that the main subjects of TSEs are architecture, and that each time a TSE lens is used one needs to tinker with the tilt (or shift) controls. Tilting is used for architecture for perspective contol and is just one half of tilt / shift. TSEs can be used as regular primes too.

I am using my TSE for all sorts of photography, for pics of my family, environmental portraits, flower photography, landscapes, general street photography, architectures with tilting, and special effects / DOF control with shifting. It is an incredibly versitile lens, and has opened a lot of creative options for me. YMMV.

Did you perform any CA correction? That top-left corner looks very clean.

No.

I imported the picture into DPP, and saved 2 copies, 1 resized smaller picture jpg (1st pic above), and another tiff version. I used PS to save the crops above from the tiff copy.

I did not do any adjustments in DPP, so the default settings would apply.

You've got those backwards...shifting is for perspective control, tilting for altering the plane of focus. You are right, though, that it is a great 24mm prime without the movements. Even the mark I, which I have, is a great 24mm prime, and doesn't suffer much image degradation until you start shifting a ton.

You don't have to persuade me. I recently fell in love with the TS feature and already purchased two lenses. The third one though will be a tough cocky as the price is very steep for me.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.
