What is the optimum aperture for the 24mm TS-E when doing the same?
I generally use my TS-E 24/3.5L II at f/5.6 or f/8, probably f/8 the most.

"I only have the old 24 TS-E with it's smaller image circle. When using tilt I have found it pays to also use a little shift to "re-centre" the image circle, as I occasionally did when using wide angle lenses on sheet film. Obviously, a bit of composition juggling is required and, in the case of this lens, re-orientating the shift axis.
This may work the 17 TS-E?"
I used to do that on 4x5 sometimes as well. It won't help the 17 t/s-e because as soon as you tilt it the upper corners go to crap, and it's not just the corners. As good as these lenses are, they're not Super Angulons.

I generally use between f/8 to f/13, splitting the difference at f/9 to f/10, when possible, and depending on subject and range of DOF needed.

p.4 #424mm TS-E POV Question
I recently acquired a Canon 24mm T&S II to use on my Sony A7II so I am new to the T&S world. For me (just a hobbyist) the main application of this lens is for architecture, particularly church interiors. I do notice softness in the corners/edges in the limited shots I have tried. Perhaps operator error played a role too. I just found this review: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canon-24-3p5-tse-c10/6
DPR used a 5DII for the test and the edge softness issue already showed up, the higher MP bodies today probably make the softness even more visible.

As Peter mentioned a couple of posts above, the TS-E 24/3.5L II isn't perfect. OTOH, it's pretty good. I posted this comparison a few months ago,
Comparison of Zeiss 25/2 ZE and Canon L lenses https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1403832
So, the TS-E 24/3.5L II with no movements, is not quite as good as the Zeiss 25/2 ZE (especially at the edges), and it's about the same as the 16-35/4L IS and 24-70/2.8L II. Of course, the TS-E advantage comes with its movements. The tilt movement allows you to align the plane of focus with some feature in the scene, but it throws focus off at other parts of the scene, and so you have to be careful where you place it, and recognize the trade-offs. With shift, the lens sharpness will certainly decrease as you get closer to the edge of the image circle, but I prefer the ability to control perspective with the lens, as opposed to through post-processing, where you'll probably lose more detail than you get with the shifted image.

This shot would have been more difficult to process in post as Jim alluded.
I had to point up quite a bit to frame the shot, but the shift kept everything upright.
It's a little dark (
), but the corners are sharp enough for me.

Slightly different comp with the 14 mm Samyang, but angled up to the same degree as shifted above.
