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.

I agree. We loose edge area. According to my comparison resulting FOV is wider than 17mm, probably ~15mm

So I have this mind boggling - should I buy FE 12-24 to replace 17L TS-E? I already owned FE 16-35 GM. If it's an effective substitute I don't want to lug a bulky manual-focus lens, although MF is very easy via EVF. What's your opinion? The member 'Joger' used to passionate on 17L TS-E now advocate FE 12-24G all the time Both FE 12-24 G and FE 16-35 GM are great lenses, I picked up later on my priority - f2.8, slight sharper and dislike severe stretching from 12mm. It's impossible or very hard to level the camera in most scenes.

Oh, I can see they have different perspective. A big advantage of TS-E lens is that you can stand in front of crowds when shifted.
