Yes, I demand a high IQ quality (of course!).
I tested the 24 TSE with 1,4 TC III against 2,8/ 24-70 II at 35 mm.
Sharpness and CR were really better with the 24-70mm.
I can live with it but would really like to have a native 35 mm TSE lens (and know of quite a few colleagues who would immediately order it as well!)

However thank you for your experience, perhaps I repeat my test (hoping for better results).

But (owning and loving the TSE 17+24) I am still waiting for a TSE 35mm!!
For architecture 35 is much more needed than 50mm.

Stop waiting. TS-E 24 f/3.5L II + EF 1.4x III Extender = TS-E 34mm f/5L with excellent IQ.

Tried this combination, of course. I am not quite convinced of the IQ.
Then you are demanding an unusually high output and should be shooting medium format or even large format with a scanning back. I have seen the highest end hotel and resort campaigns shot with the 24 + 1.4TC and the resultant large prints were stunning.
