how come Canon didn't release lens correction profiles for their finest glass like 17 and 24mm TS-E?

Does anyone know which vignette and distortion values work best for these babies? I need them in LR 4.3

cheers

Hi Beno - you don't really need them in LR!

The TS-E 17 and 24 II have almost mo geometric distortion. It is so small that you should not see it even in critical situations with straight lines and fully shifted like in this images with two fully shifted images stitched together:

TS-E 17 and no correction of geometry

the vignetting can be corrected manually - it takes only a few attempts until you get flawless results

There is hardly any CA and if you happen to have it correct it also manually in the color menu by switch on: "remove chromatic aberration"

CA only happens in very bright parts of the image and you should see it and the option in LR really helps to get the last bit of imperfection corrected.

The TS-E 17 is a masterpiece in optical design.
