martin_patek_strutsky Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Read several comments stating that the TS-E 24/3.5 is a somewhat mediocre lens especially with FF cameras and far behind its 45mm and 90mm counterparts. Can you confirm this? Has anyone compared the TS-E 24/3.5 with the Leica PC-Super Angulon 28/2.8 and the PC-Nikkor 28/3.5 (both could be used with an EOS adapter)? Is there a clear winner?

yakim_peled1 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Are you aware that there are operational problems concerning attaching a lens with non-EF mount to an EOS body or are you just talking about image quality? Happy shooting, Yakim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_patek_strutsky Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 Of course Nikon or Leica lenses need to be stopped down manually with an EOS adapter. However with manual shift lenses usually used on a tripod I would not call this a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbizarro Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 My sample is far from mediocre. I have no clue, or interest, comparing it to other brands. If you are, and find out that the Leica and Nikkor lenses are indeed much better, it would be easier just to buy a cheap Leica or Nikon camera to go with it. Can you point to those specific comments? I have the feeling this is another "hearsay" myths that are alive on the net. Check the Luminous Landscape site for a comparison of 4 24mm lenses from Canon, much more useful than sterile and useless debates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbq Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 From all I've been able to read it's far from mediocre. It's a very wide angle lens for SLRs with a large circle of coverage - those are design constraints that can't be ignored, and that have their consequences in terms of image quality. I wouldn't use it as an everyday 24mm lens (I'd go for a 24/2.8 for that, which I own and is good), but it does things that very few other lenses do (and that neither of your other options does).

eos 10 fan Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Have a look at this comparo: <br> <a href="http://luminous-landscape.com/reviews/lenses/24-vs-24.shtml">Battle of the Canon 24mm "L" Lenses</a> <br> Too bad the 24/2.8 is not included.<p>-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
