I love my TSE 17. I don't like using it hand held, though. If it had a tripod mount, it would sit permanently on its own tripod.

It's a magnificent piece of glass, too. I didn't really get the full impact of better color and contrast on a lens until I got the 17, I could recover more highlights with it than with other lenses, and the colors somehow looked better, in addition to having the magic shift function.

I've never actually tilted it. I shoot it at F11, so everything is sharp.

Normally I wouldn't hand-hold it, but I was just excited to try it right after purchase.  I've rented it twice before, so I know what you mean.  In this shot in particular, the inherent  vignetting of the lens while shifted up is helping the sky, almost like a polarizer.

I think at 17mm, the tilt function is not a major player.

f8 and be there, no?
