Hi I thought I'd fix my TS-E 24 to my 20D to see how it went, and found that it seems to underexpose by about 1 or 2 stops as you shift to the max. I've used the TS-E now for about 8 or so years, so I am familiar with using it always on M (manual), and either metering by my hand spot meter, or metering with it unshifted to account for the laser etched focusing screen effects on the light meter issues.
Unlike my film body, it doesn't seem to vignet on the corners at wider apatures (probably because the CCD is not at the corners where film may be). I suspect the tiny lens's that are put on the front of the CCD effecting things, as it darkens whichever way I shift, and that's not what happens with the focusing screen caused metering errors. I don't expect too many 20D users will be using this lens (or the TS-E 45, 90) so it will probably not be usefull information to many, but just incase it was, I thought I'd post it here. anyway ... all the wizzbang and I'm back to bracketing again to predict exposures. An old roman saying goes along the lines of "The more things change, the more they stay the same" Still I must say that the image quality I'm getting is pretty good, and seems to equal previous scans made of RDP-III using a Ni%#n Coolscan LS-IV scanner. I guess that if I was shooting 3000 images a day (as one user reported doing recently with their D30) or if I was doing wildlife where my lenses became 'longer' I'd be more impressed with the beast. Its coming into spring, perhaps I'll get into some bird shots with my 100-300 USM, at least that'll be where I expect this camera to shine.
