Questions concerning Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5 L II

[D.G.Pedrera]

I am starting a project where I will have to distort architectural perspectives. I don't want the fish eye effect, actually the footage should look slightly "wrong" concerning perspectives and plans. As if you are seeing something that looks familiar, but there is something not right. After some reseachers I've found the Tilt shift Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5 L II. Does it make sense to spend so much money to get this lens for plans and perspective in-corrections accentuation? I have the film "Mother and Son" by A. Sokurov as I huge reference for what I am looking for.

I have also found that, as a starting point of what I call this in-corrections:

I have saved myself a TON of money by renting lenses from BorrowLenses.com

And the last two expensive lenses I bought, I first rented to make sure they worked the way I wanted before spending a ton of money on them.

Do you think that I can do this kind of architectural distortions with a Lensbaby?

Is there any other kind of lens or ?? to play with plans?

Thanks in advance!

I think renting the lenses is the way to go.

A little off-topic, but I was wondering what kind of trippy looks you could get if you used Steady-cam in post from Tilt Shift footage like that o.o
