I promised to post some images taken with a TSS that I don't think can be duplicated using either using PP or a small aperture with a WA. All three are scans from chromes originally taken with a Canon 24mm TSS. I don't think there's any way that a WA could get such DOF and maintain the IQ of these images (allow that these scans, done with a flat-bed scanner, do not preserve the IQ of the originals). Also, no 24mm could get the DOF of the last image with the typical minimum aperture of f16. You'd have to go to 20mm or even 15mm, but then the background mountain would be reduced to insignificance..(SORRY! I forgot to touch out the dust on the first image.)

Sometime I'll search up a scan from a chrome taken with the Canon TSS to show you what is very difficult to achieve with a WA.

The Schneider TSS lenses are probably excellent (never seen an image or a test). Canon makes fine TSS lenses. The 24mm Canon TSS lens I had for several years was excellent. By reputation, the 17mm Canon TSS is also excellent. I have a Samyang 24mm TSS which is OK, so-so, adequate for the frequency that I use it. It can get images otherwise impossible, but the IQ is not what I'd wish for. I think 50mm is way too long. I find the 24 Samyang too long for APS-C and am looking forward to using it on the K1, although I'm fearful the edges will be disappointing. Unfortunately the only alternative (other than Arsat) are the Schneiders which IMHO are both too long and too expensive. BTW: I also had a Pentax 28 shift for a while, BIG lens, but I like to use such a lens to gain DOF, which a shift-only lens will not do.
