Getting it right the first time, yes? That probably means getting a 5D2 right after the 17/4 TS. 
Happy shooting,

Yup. Nice high ISO... Full frame... *swoon* I'm sure it makes nicer pictures of the wife, too!

That's why my husband bought the 135/2 - nothing else is fast enough to capture that elusive moment of fleeting sanity... Growing up with a photog father, I learnt dodging a camera before I learnt to walk.

I envy you. She detects me with the 135/2 and even with the 300/4 IS. I tell you, these women are impossible....

A terrible thing happened today. I went to a Canon Israel convention. They launched the 7D, the 100/2.8 IS, the 24/3.5 TS II and the 17/4 TS. I tried them out and got absolutely hooked, especially on the 17/4 TS. I think about selling all my Mamiya kit to finance it.
Happy shooting,

The solution is simple. Set up a blind in the living room.

That's not a terrible thing. It s a great thing, and a great opportunity. I tried them out and got absolutely hooked, especially on the 17/4 TS.
Nah, just admit it. You were hooked already, well before this convention <GDR>.
I think about selling all my Mamiya kit to finance it.
Do you still shoot film?
For me no more ...
Happy shooting,
Yakim.
Kind regards, Wim

How didn't I think about it?
But then again, if I'd set it in my living room then a 50mm is more than enough.

To know something and to feel it are two completely different things. Think about it. For years you have fantasized on Angelina Jolie/Liv Tyler/Whomever and suddenly they step into your bedroom while your wife is away.....
BTW, I don't shoot film anymore. I use a Mirex TS adapter with them. This adapter allows you to make any Mamiya M645 lens into a tilt-shift one on your Canon DSLR.
Happy shooting,
Yakim.

I have a very similar setup. My Mamiya 35/3.5 and 120/4 macro became TS ones with that Mirex TS adapter. And of course, plenty of other lenses exist. The fun part of it is that it's much cheaper that way, as long as you don't want anything wider than 35mm.

My dad sold all his Pentax gear to get a brand new Mamiya 7II. His dream camera. He doesn't regret it one bit! I'm pretty sentimental and like to keep beautiful gear, but I, too, think that if you have reason to believe you'll have more fun using the 17/4, that's the way you should go.

life is too short for not trying every lens you want to try ;-)
and if you buy wise, you don't loose much money, actually every lens I bought secondhand is more expensive right now, but i just can't let them go ...

& get a remote trigger & wireless file transfer, then you can get a few
candids before she knows what hit her. and she can't format away the pics.
OP:
If you buy good glass(what will be called a classic in the future)
it will always be in demand(esp. now days with m4/3 & adapter rings)

Just found something in TDP: "Obviously, APS-C (1.6x FOVCF) bodies frame tighter than their full-frame counterparts. This facts perhaps makes the wide focal length of this lens even more useful for these primary purposes."
