Congrats! Enjoy the EOSfun of this wonderful lens!
Why not sell it here at the B&S board? This is the perfect audience for your product. Canon users all over the world know FM as good place with lot's of reliable members. They know to value the product. I am sure there are a few FM-ers there downunder with you in New Zealand. Enjoy summertime!

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...
is it the 16-9 that everybody raves about but cant get then list it here and you will have you hand bitten off i would think

Are any of you 17mm TSE users longing for a polarizer or GND for landscapes?

Good point. Great shot.
Same with this image. I would have gotten a lot of trees and a fence in the foreground without using shift and wouldn't have been able to capture as much of the sky as I wanted.

The FOV changes so much on the 14-24 that I really like it to explore different looks. For landscapes it's a more versatile choice.
But for architectural the clear choice is the TSE.
Both lenses are designed with future sensors in mind. I find the 14-24 very sharp at 17. Also, the FOV difference between 14 and 17mm is a lot.
Since I would like to buy both the 24 TSE and the 24L II, I can't even start to think about the 17 TSE.........

Thats a good question.
For many of us "landscapers" who own the 24 TSE2, it was probably the use of grads and CPLs that made us get the 24.
I still have the 17-40 if I "must have" wider, but I am reluctant to go there these days, because after the brilliance of the 24 TSE2, the 17-40 (or my 16mm fish) just doesn't cut the mustard anymore.
Thankfully 24mm is still a great focal length for most landscape work and a quick "shift" with the 24 provides some extra FOV (and a nice 16/9 format) if needed.

True. And, I find I use the 17 in place of the 16-35 for a lot of 'normal' photography, such as events, urban landscape, travel, etc. The only concern I have with the 17 is using it while it's raining.

TSE 17 + 1.4x TC = better than the 24 TSE mkI and not too shabby vs. the mkII. Not as sharp, but still usable.

Indeed. The Aussie RRP is pretty much double the US RRP eventhough our dollar value is almost one to one.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.
I got my 24 TS-E II for $2350 then went OS with 30 days of purchase and got the GST refunded, so cost less than shipped from B&H.

These lenses are in such short supply in the states that it's very hard to get any sort of discount. I got a hundred buck off list on the 17mm and bought it on a no sales tax day at Samy's, which saves close to ten percent. The 24 I had to buy at Canoga Camera and they would not budge off list, not even one penny, and I had to pay tax as well. Oh well.

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.
I hope Canon can improve on the IQ with their version - my Nikon 14-24 was still a little soft in the corners (at all apertures) - not a huge improvement over the 16-35L by any means.

Well I finally got around to taking a few shots in the back yard with the 17mm T/s. This thing is insanely sharp! I have the 24TSEII also and my copy blows away several copies of the CZ21mm that I have tried. i thought the 17mm would be a step down but its just as good! Im obviously blessed to have get an extremely good copy of both lenses. Its actually quite frightening how good it is. Also, no distortion, very good colour etc etc.
The other thing that concerned me was that it may be too close to the 24mm in its FOV but again, this is quite a different lens and takes in alot more of the scene. A very obvious difference. All in all Im EXTREMELY happy to have moved from the Nikkor 14-24mm and Im not looking back one little bit! Now Im broke.....
