In the other order I suspect? (unless they're one and the same). £1449 is the best I can find at the moment....... I think perhaps I need you to have a chat with my bank manager and my wife

Don't worry about the ' and the ` .
Simple in comparison to what many people envy really, macro and other attributes. My main interest is sport so my needs, my desires are tailored towards that. As long as I can shoot sport I'm happy !

You could buy a Shen HAo 5/4 and a lens for that. Tilt and shift always available and live view focusing included for free
Mike,
Likely as not, "relatively cheap" in the U.K. is going to be more than the cost of the new lens here in the States. I think that the MF Pentax lenses are going to be less expensive the UK as who wants them, but there are stellar and can be used for the Eos with an inexpensive adapter.

For example, there is not 24-70 f/2.8 zoom with IS either and you can be sure that there is an ample supply of customers for such a lens.
Ruben,Just after I sold a 17-40mm because of lack of use, I've being asked to do some interior photos. Looking around for my options of getting a good lens for this (renting or whatever), I came across these lenses that are out of any realistic possibility for me, but they are so damn sexy!

Ruben,
What camera system do you have to go with it?
Asher
Hi Ruben,
A warning about hartblei.com, they do not sell the Hartblei lenses anymore. One either needs to contact the German or Ukraine representatives, and the German branch is the only one selling real Zeiss formulated rebuilds Here is some more background on the Who-is-Who.

The 24mm is so expensive
I already have a TSE-90, tilt-shift controls are really cool and the IQ is superb.
Ruben,
How much do you use the lens? I have the 24 mm TS/E II and find that this alone is good for so much, from full length portraits of groups to interiors or even slower shots. I don't have the 90 mm version, but I'd imagine just that one lens can open up a lot of artistic opportunities unique to that lens. Is it really practical to own an additional lens in terms of actual production of new work?
I'm finding that, at least for artwork, I do best with sticking to less lenses!
OTOH, if I was doing interiors again, the 17mm TS.E would be very attractive. See I don't listen to my own advice. There's always some seduction that overcomes logic! We flirt with lenses!
Hi Asher,
Flirting can be dangerous ;-)
However, stitching with the TS-E 24mm will produce superior resolution results compared to the TS-E 17mm, and it's easy to match or even exceed the Field of View of the 17mm, by just adding tiles.
The TS-E 90mm is a wonderful lens, compact, simple optical construction and thus high contrast, and will produce even more stitched resolution, also for reprowork at an angle. The longer focal length and Tilt can also be exploited for macro photography. All that's needed is an extender or an extension tube.

Recently I've been envying a 300mm prime for my lineup. I started out with a nice copy of a nikkor 300mm f4.5 AIS, returned it and through down few more bucks for a tamron sp 300mm f2.8 IF LD! Man is this Tamron huge compared to the nikkor. But yet I am still undecided....
I just might have to return this before it's 30 day period is up and test out a nikkor 10-24mm f3.5-4.5 AFS or the sigma 15-30mm f3.5-4.5 ex dg.
Can anyone talk me out of lusting after a 45mm PC?
Why would that be the case?
Because, even if she doesn't normally ask you what you buy nor expects you to tell her, she is a person closest to you than we can ever be?
Jake, I sold my 300 2.8L Canon lens because it simple was to heavy to use more than an hour. Then one still has to carry it! There's a lot to say for the f4.0 lenses.

Can anyone talk me out of lusting after a 45mm PC for my Nikon before its too late and I waste my hard earnt pension on yet another toy?
