Those new tilt/shift lenses do sound impressive, but unfortunately, I haven't used or seen one, nor do I know of anybody who has. I look forward to hearing more about them. Hi Joseph,

However, Canon recently announced but has yet to deliver on two new TS lenses, a 17mm and a 24 mm II. The specs on the new 24mm lens are impressive. But the price point is nearly twice that of the current 24mm TS lens. Have you had a chance to evaluate the new 24mm lens? I would be interested in your assessment. And keep up the great work - your photos are awesome. Joe Ron,

I was using a Canon 5D, and am now using a Canon 1Ds III. The Canon digital rebel is a good camera. Hopefully I will get a chance to meet you one of these days, I should be back in Alaska in a couple of weeks. Thanks, Ron Hi Rick,

We don't want any outsiders doing that. You can imagine my relief at finding out you are not only an Alaskan but a fellow Sewardite. I didn't see what current camera and lenses you are using. I shoot (and I use that term loosely) a Canon digital rebel XT. It's an older but still good camera. I would be honored to lug your equipment around for you! Hi Ron,

The Red Rock Canyon photo linked above for example is actually with the 24mm. The photo above, and the Grand Teton image were both with the 45mm. For a comparison, here is a vertical of the same Grand Teton scene with the 24mm: <a href="http://www.wildnatureimages.com/search/index.php?pageId=100&id=19089&start=0&lightbox_page=&search_mode=search" rel="nofollow">Grand Teton</a> Really, you won't go wrong with either one.

Which lens(es) did you use to take the above photo and the ones at the links you provided? In your previous reply you indicated that you don't use the 24mm for landscapes much. Can you elaborate on why not? I'm interested in purchasing it over the 45mm for the increased angle of view. Ron, I found this to be a great article.

I learned a few new things thanks to your great explanation. Nikon only makes a 85 mm T/S - I have always wondered how useful that focal length would be. Great info on T/S lenses Ron.

It seems like the ability to tilt is more valuable with the longer lenses like the 45mm. I started with the 45 and then added the 24 - I use them both equally. The 45mm is nice for panoramic, I think the 90 would even be more useful for panos. Ron Hi Richard,

I've been debating whether or not to get the 24 or not or even the 45mm, not sure which I'd use more. Do you use the 45mm more for architecture? I am more in need of a new camera and good telephoto lens though. That is awesome Ron. I’ve been debating whether or not to get the 24 or not or even the 45mm, not sure which I’d use more.
