Just curious, how long does it take to shoot a house with the 17TS or any other TS Sense?

Most agents and owners want you in and out as fast as you are able.

at $125.00/hr shooting 10 rooms and outside would take some time, yes?

I agree the 17TS would get you Architectural Digest look, but Agents I work with are not interested in me hanging around for hours.... Just sayin!

TS lenses don't really take any longer than an ultra wide angle zoom to setup and use.  You can leave it shifted between shots.  Shift adjustments take a few seconds.  You still have to compose and level the camera before you shoot.  In my opinion, they don't slow you down.

With a 17 TS, you could shot every interior shot with it and just crop later. RE work doesn't need the high resolution, so even cropping from 30 to 10MP you'll still be fine.
