I use:

2.33 ghz macbook pro (matte screen), core 2 duo. Gretag Macbeth Eye-One 2 system -

the best, the spyder is awful - from my experience. an older but consistent CRT monitor

for all color critical work. epson 2200

i calibrate to 6500K, gama 2.2, and 100 luminance.

i never have any color problems.

i would guess that it is either the Spyder system or a bad LCD or misapplied settings

are you making prints and getting bad results also?

btw i have calibrated my laptop screen but thats never going to ever be used for color

work - its like a big polariod on location.

BTW that link: http://skyblue04.egloos.com/2864840

is Korean not Japanese.

and if a "5th assistant" was anywhere near a camera and the Canon rep I would be very

surprised - more likely the 5th assistant is making lattes/watching strobe packs at best.

Howard - forgive my ignorance but what would the equivalnet focal length be of that

pentax 35mm 645 adapted to a caonon eos? if its the same i would look into that becasue

those lenses are probably better in the corners.

i have heard the 24mm ts-e and 1.4 tele is a decent option but i was hoping someone had

a nikon or canon (or olympus) 35mm pc to compare it to. i guess i should rent a

teleconverter and check it out.

gary - when i shoot with a view camera (and i still do) i usually use a schneider 120mm

f8, that is about a 35mm in 35mm format. i would rather use a sharp 35mm pc than

stitch from a 45 ts-e

I shoot interiors with a 5D and I am looking for a 35mm pc lens. I already own the 24mm

TS-E, so one option is using a 1.4 TC (which I do not own). Or do I get a Nikon 35mm f2.8

pc, or do I try to find a Canon FD 35mm TS SSC? I don't have the cash for the Contax

35mm pc. I don't care about auto anything beacuse I use a tripod, I am only wondering

about image quality. Thanks for your suggestions.

Weiyang-

due to perspective, moving my camera position will not always achieve the same results as

the right focal length lens. i know it can be done, i have seen those lenses used that way -

i was hoping to hear from pro digital photographers who think its is sharp enough. but i

already think the 24mm ts-e isn't that sharp compared to most other 24mm lenses.

anyone use this combo? using a 5D, do you notice alot of loss of sharpness and

resolution. i think canon really needs a 35mm ts-e for architectural photogaphers.

Thanks for the info, that Olympus sounds pretty good. It's so small too. I wonder what

happens when Nikon finally releases a FF digital camera. Their wide zone is rated much

highter than Canon's. I hope one day soon Canon gets with it and concentrates a little on

the wide glass.

Thanks for all of your info. I was hoping not to pay $2000+ for prime 35mm lenses, it

almost makes me think twice about putting the 4x5 aside. I spend alot of time in

Photoshop correcting lens barrel distortion, chromatic abberation, perspective, you name

it. Those Photoshop corrections are indispensible for the architectural work I do with

these lenses. Trade-offs. So I would be better off with the Canon primes than the zooms

(obviously) until I buy a Zeiss. And the 24mm TS-E is so soft I guess I should only use it

when I only absolutely need the shift. Unless I am doing something wrong. I try to use

f10-11 for interiors, I hear people recommending more open than that. Anyone

recommend the Olympus Zuiko 24mm shift over the Canon?

I shoot architecture and interiors with a 5D. I have the 17-40 f4 and the 24mm TS-E. I

am not thrilled with the sharpness of these lenses. I know the 24mm TS-E is not so sharp,

but I wanted to know if using primes like the 20mm f2.8, 24mm f2.8 amd 35mm f2 would

give better results than the zoom. I assume it would, but has anyone done a comparison

test? Anyone use the tamron or sigma wide primes? I like the 17-40 for casual stuff

especially when I had the 20D, but for critical work, it doesn't perform very well. What do

you guys think?
