I use EF 17L TS-E lots on Sony bodies. Your review is accurate. Despite the shortage I still need this lens and carry in the trips despite its weight (even slightly heavier than 24-70L/2.8 II). I hate converging vertical in city/architecture photos. Sure you can fix in software but not only lose resolution but will lose a large section of edge area. 12mm after vertical perspective fix, it likely also becomes 17mm.

It's funny that Canon TS-E lenses actually are much easier to use on E-mount than Canon own EF-mount due to EVF (so much easier and more accurate in MF), focus peaking (that Tilt function is so much easier to use), very accurate exposure in full-time LV, and then becomes an 'IS' lens on Sony's IBIS bodies. I shoot most photos from this lens actually hand-held.
