Anyone here using this lens? I have and love my 24 mm TS just wondering about the 19, expensive piece.
On the 24mm you have to choose between tilting OR shifting, though, don't you? Whereas on the 19mm you can do both at the same time, independently of one another. Unless I'm mistaken, I'd guess that's extra "bit" you're paying for with the 19mm version.

It is sharper, great color, and saves me time in post correcting verticals. The big plus for Architecture, Interiors or real estate is the ability to shift up vertically to compose. No more losing the tops of buildings trying to maintain the verticals. Also when shooting interiors with with my 14-24 one always gets tons of ceiling and I can now compose and concentrate on the room. The 24 TS is a very good lens but I find it most useful for exteriors and and super large spaces, I can do the same shot with the 19 and crop if needed. Even hand help I fine I can tilt the camera to align the verticals and adjust the lens as needed. One needs to be extremely careful with the front element, it sticks out a lot.
