Tilt and Shift question

[yeoboy]

I am interested in photographing buildings some of which cant be captured without the perspective problems with wide angle, I know very little about tilt/shift and wonder if detail is lost in the use of such s lens.

Quality is excellent. They are premium grade, as you would expect for the price.

The two main things they do is correct perspective distortion such as converging verticals, and they can tilt the focal plane to control depth of field.

The latter feature is unique but converging verticals are very easily corrected in post processing, takes two seconds, and you can correct to a greater extent in post than most T&S lenses will allow.

If anything, you'll see an increase in quality as the image cirlce is larger.... meaning that you're likely to be further from any edge softening (assuming that you're comparing lenses of similar build spec).
