TS lenses don't really take any longer than an ultra wide angle zoom to setup and use.

They're manual focus.

Which most are doing anyway for for RE work.  Most shots you can leave the camera at a hyperfocal distance and f8.  Everything will be in focus.

If you're walking around snapping hand-held pics, they yeah, a TS-E lens will be slower.  But for a typical shooter on a tripod, who is taking time to carefully compose, level the camera, etc., the extra step of adding shift takes about 3 seconds.

Not saying TS-E lenses are as simple as an AF zoom, but there seems to be some myth that they take a long time to setup and use.  I can add desired shift and focus a shot in about 10 seconds.
