I gave those two spots as an example where it is easy to see.
Personally, I am not that impressed considering price and hoollaballoo around this lens. I guess I am spoilt with the TS-E 17.
Kind regards, Wim

Hi Wim:
I know that you love your TS-E 17mm f4 and believe that the lens is fantastic and high quality. But I wonder if you feel somewhat inconvenient or even somewhat dissapointed for its no accessibility to filters (I am just curious). The Nikkor 14-24mm f2.8 has the same problem, which makes me hesitate to consider it (although I know some specially-designed filter adapters are available). For landscape photography filters are so important. Although in some situations the GND effects can be produced through post-processing, in critical situations (very large dymanical ranges in the scene) they can't. And the effects of a polarizer cannot be got through post-processing at all.
Regards,
Frank
