TS-E on the cheap? For architectural photography

Thank you

Thank you all for such helpful and knowledgeable responses, which have helped me to come to a properly informed decision on such a big question.

In the end it was the polariser that got me - I really like the crispness of blue skies polarised, and the saturation you can get into concrete, brick or stone colours. Until then I'd been going to go with 17mm TS-E and 650D, because I agree that the body makes less and less difference, and suffers nearly 100% depreciation within a few years.

And having had a first play with the 24mm and the 6D I have to say that I'm STAGGERED by the quality of the lens. With a Manfrotto Junior (no idea why 1.2kg of metal is called "Junior") tripod head I am getting every single line on a gridded building absolutely vertical or horizontal, down to the pixel. And so sharp! Beautiful.

With many thanks and best wishes to you all for your photography.
