That's helpful information. I'm mostly into different subject matter to you - more landscapes as in the examples below, both of which would work very well with a little tilt. The first was with a Canon FD 28 F/2.0 and the second with an FD 35 F2.0. I also have an FD 20, but have found that while the centre is beautifully sharp, it doesn't pay to look to closely at the corners. Hopefully the TS-E 24 would provide some improvement in that regard. The weight is a downside, given the places I like to go, but other UWA options (Distagon 21, etc.) look to be just about as heavy. I'm open to any other UWA suggestions.
Regards, John
ps. - apologies for posting such summery images when so many of you appear to be in the depths of winter.
the TSE is very sharp to the very corners even at F3.5, if you shift it to the extremes in portrait, you will see a little less sharp corners, but nothing i would think about.
Though shifting HH works quite good, tilting IMO is not really possible HH, here i would use a tripod. A minimal movement of the cam will alter the plane of sharpness without any control.
The Distagon 21, i own, is excellent around the frame but heavy big and expensive. I would go for the 16-35 FE!

Thanks again - I'll ponder my bank balance, but can see that it would be a great way to go for tripod work, though would require fortitude if backpacking! And as you suggest, moving from FD to EF opens all sorts of other possibilities...
Thanks for the nice comments and likes on the ice photo a couple of pages back! This is from the same place. I meant to take a photo of the ice crack when a young girl skated into the scene. (A7 and C/Y 28mm/2.8)
Another wonderful image, Helena!
During that time, that is what I was photographing, in stark and sad contrast to your serene beauty, at the largest French demonstration in French history. Many are proud of how many of us came out and marched, and how many heads of State and governments came and showed support. But the fact of the matter is, 3 scum gunned down 17 people, and one can't be totally assured of not being on the wrong side of a Kalashnikov if one is (a) a libertarian journalist, (b) a jew, (c) anyone they don't like. Shame on us!
There are so many excellent shots everyone! This thread is evolving so quickly.
Jack, great street shots, and love the PP'ing and feel.
Helen, wonderful images, and great subtle PP'ing!
Bob, fantastic captures!!
Philber, I feel for you!
Manuel, thank you
The colour version I have posted below.

Lurker here but had to respond...magnificent photo and I really feel for you and your lovely country. It is a really really sad time; and it brings back sad memories here in NYC.

Question guys: in these vertical shots and in some others, always vertical and in a big backlight, I've noticed a kind of vignetting in the extreme corners... seems to me more a shadow of small E mount hole. Anyone has explanation about this phenomenon? Thanks in advance.
Manuel
Today I had time to do some tests so I quote myself to apologize for my stupid consideration ("seems to me more a shadow of small E mount hole")
First of all I discovered my sensor is rather dirty... I always look at him with great love when I change lenses but he is dirtied the same without advise and without show me how
Then I learned this fantastic piece of glass has some residual vignetting also at f/8 and f/11...
