. . . My question is, is it too bad a waste of a beautiful lens (17mm TS-E) to put it on a 7-year-old EOS400D?

Cameras really don't matter that much any more since a couple of years!

It's the lenses that make the difference!

Go for the TS-E 17 or 24 II and get a new camera when your old one stops to work properly.

I own the TS-E 17 and it is a fabulous lens - just amazingly good and easily outperforming any other wide angle lens on the market - you can't go wrong with it.

Camera bodies are widely overrated in terms of importance to the image quality. That said certain conditions require different feature sets - but for the sujets a TS-E 17 is built for a 400D will do just fine. The story is different for action and sports though.

As long as you can stay at low ISO values you might not see a significant difference even to the latest camera releases from Canon
