Thanks Werner,
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.

ps. - apologies for posting such summery images when so many of you appear to be in the depths of winter. Hi John,
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!
Cheers W.
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...
