Test done on Canon 5DII.
All on tripod, live view for focus and manual metering.
All shots in RAW => converted with DPP v 3.6.0.0 without any corrections (also no lens corrections for the 17-40 and the 24-105). Only non-standard setting was a sharpening of 3, that is all.
Only 1 shot (the shot with 2 different exposures superimposed) has had some postprocessing.
The panos were stitched, but other than that, zero enhancements.
Some of the better or more interesting ones are available in full format for your download and personal analysis. Please respect the copyright and do not use for any other purposes.

Enjoy the details...up until the corners on a Canon 5DII.
This lens is fantastic.

Canon 24 TS-E II vs 17-40 vs 24-105.
Make sure to look at this comparison at format "Original".
These are crops from a series of images taken with various lenses at 24 mm.
One can clearly see the advantage of sharpness of the Canon TS-E lens vs the zooms. Due to perspective effects, the regular lenses show some details much smaller than the TS-E lens.

Canon 24 TS-E II at f 3.5 with 10 mm shift.
Fully open and with significant vertical shift, one can see some vignetting, but noting to be too worried about.

Light fall-off is also not too bad. The metering with my zoom lenses is clearly different from the metering with the TS lens.
Important to see that if you would want to create the effect as on the TS lens on the PC then you would have to use a lens wider than 24 mm and you would have to stretch the image considerably.

More vignetting here than on the other lenses.

Here I tried to take a perspective wise correct picture with the 17-40 at 17 mm. Cropping the picture on the PC could give us the same view as on a TS lens, except that even the 17 mm is not wide enough. With a 14 mm I guess it would work, but one would have cut off a lot of the picture to get the part you want.

This just to show you what you get with a traditional wideangle, if you can't go further to the back.
Correcting for perspective will remove quite a bit at the edges.

From the same position with the 24 TS-E lens, I can't see as wide as with the 17 mm.
I can't recall the real reason why I did not fully correct this picture. Someone notified me that it should have been possible, and I must agree.
