Really nice shots! Very sharp and no distortion. What a nice lens. Excellent job.

Very nice. I'm curious if you intentionally allowed some convergence in the Bahnhof exterior photos or if it was simply a matter of not being able to shift enough to capture the full height of the buildings without pointing the lens up a bit at that vantage point? My finding with the 17 is that if perspective distortion (convergence) is completely eliminated that the resulting image may look a bit unnatural, depending on the subject matter, and in particular for very tall buildings. In your samples I think the slight convergence feels just right.

Great shots! I know the area, having visited my country's embassy across the street from the Sony Centre in Leipziger Platz during business trips on a number of occasions and have similar photos but not nearly as good as yours. You've really captured the area well.

Boris,
This is one exciting series!
Your perspectives really showcases that marvelous Architecture and the strength of the 17 TS-E. The exposures and reflections are really wonderful. Thanks for posting!

Hi Ron, this was simply a matter of not beeing able to shift enough. But you are right: in some situations it looks better if you are not completely eliminating the convergence. For example I like the slight convergence in picture #3, but I don't like the distortion in picture #4.

Cool shots! I like them all a lot. The 4th one seems to be taken from nearby. The buildings seems as sharp as a knife.
Are they all single shots (no stitching)?
I have this great lens as well. Love it. I'm about to add the 24.

Excellent shots. Would there be interesting buildings like this in Hamburg? I might rent the lens.
