Been there. Done that. Doesn't work. I can't seem to buy her something she likes. I really can't understand women.
Happy shooting,

Then go shopping with her and take the guess work out. Out of curiosity, is this lens, or any Canon lenses for that matter, quite a bit more expensive over there compared to the prices in the US?

It does not work. She does not want. She claims it's too expensive and we can't afford it. 
And yes, camera gear is very expensive here when compared to US prices. It's ~50-70% more expensive. And this is a relatively good situation. If you check cars and motorcycle prices then the difference is 200-500%.

Yeah, kind of puts our (in the USA) spoiled rants about lens prices in perspective, doesn't it?

Indeed. The Aussie RRP is pretty much double the US RRP eventhough our dollar value is almost one to one.

Since you already have the 14-24G you should keep it - at least until Canon comes out with their 14-24L version .... and only if they can match the IQ of the Nikon. Heck, this 14-24G is 4 L-quality prime lenses for the price of just one. Isn't that good enough reason? If money is no object to you, then go ahead and also pick up a Canon 14L II, 17 TS-E, 24 TS-E, and ZE 21. I know I would. But money being tight for me, the decision to go with the 14-24G (instead of the ZE 21) was a no brainer .... to me, but YMMV of course.

I currently have a 14-24 adapted to me 5D2. I shoot mainly landscapes but would like to do a little bit of architecture photography possibly as well. Im thinking of selling the Nikkor and buying the Canon for the above reason but also as its a bit smaller, has movement etc and I figure I can join 2 images if I need the width.
The Nikkor is damn fine though... Am I doing the wrong thing?

I paid AUD $3099.00 for my 17mm and $2550.00 for the TSE 24mm II lens and they were all discounted by about $300.00 per lens! And $1899.00 each for the 45 and 90mm.

Darn! I paid $2779 for my TSE24 from PCies a couple of months ago.

Oh man, I was thinking tonight about buying either the 14-24 and the 24TSE II or the 17TSE and 24TSE II. Decisions, decisions.

Although I have the 17 TSE and no way I would let it go, some time I'm quite want a good zoom WA like the 14-24mm when I wanna go light.

I seem to be slowly and steadily moving away from zoom lenses although I still own three. These two new tilt-shift lenses combined with the Canon 45 and 90 and a Zeiss 35 Shift are the ones I use the most. The two new Canons I think are even better than the Zeiss, which is a great lens in its own right.

A Tilt and shift is not a lens to compare with a zoom. Somebody above said horses for courses. Yes, it's even more different. More like horses versus fork lift trucks
The TSE lense mkII and the 17 TSE are a special kind. High quality wide angle products that makes your full frame Canon body capable like a view camera. My Linhof Super Technika hardly sees daylight anymore. Optical performance is as good as the best products in this range. Tilting and shifting gives creative possibilities no fixed prime or zoomlens can give. The studio camera is a full frame body now. The outdoor landscape or cityscape camera ideal of many photographers as well. Architecture photographers already knew: there is no EOSfun like TSE. The new TSE's are some of the most underestimated pieces of glass in the current Canon line. These show Canon's philosophy on photography with wide angles dedicated to special needs. These TSE's that no other manufacturer sells keep a few from switching to the other side.
To the OP, just be sure you like it's handling. You said it's more compact. I find this is marginal and the protruding front lens seems so vulnerable, it's still the kind of piece that you handle and care like a baby.
Whatever you decide, have EOSfun

Now Ive made the transition from the 14-24 to the 17mm TSE where is the best place to sell the lever adaptor I have? I resent putting it on Ebay as no one will search for it correctly...
