TS-E lens

[pwp]

I sometimes rent the 17 TS-E for interiors. It's an incredible piece of glass. I shoot with 5D3 and when 17 is just that bit too wide I put the 17mm on the 1D Mk4 to get 22mm, get even more flexibility with the very forgiving 1.4TC. Hell, it's time I bought the 17!

The 24 TS-E II is equally awesome, but the 17 is the gold standard with the greatest flexibility for architectural & real estate work.

I have never used a TS-E lens and was wondering if anyone could offer some advice on if this would be a prudent investment or a few online tutorials. I have searched around online and had little luck with finding anything tutorial related.

Thanks!

I hope this link helps: http://oopoomoo.com/ebook/the-tilt-shift-lens/. The e-book has everything you need to know about the TS-E lens. I'm as well looking to invest on the TS-E lens in the near future.

Maybe a little off-topic, but can anyone recommend a good, hopefully not too expensive, screwdriver kit that will remove the screws on the TS-E 17mm cap?  I have two tiny screwdriver sets and neither work.

They are JIS heads, it is a Japanese style cross head that is similar to Philips, but the angles are different and using Western screwdrivers usually rounds out the heads.

Here is what you are after https://www.google.com/search?q=JIS+screwdriver+set&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

Great.  Thanks!
