The most significant difference is the ability of the TS-E 24mm f/3.5 L II to do TS rotation. This means that the relationship between the tilt axis and the shift axis can be altered from between 90º and 0º and any point in between. This can be accomplished on the fly during normal use of the lens. The original TS-E 24mm f/3.5 L can only be set at either 90º ...

The biggest operational difference is that version II has a super-rotator style design that allows the tilt and shift axis to be varied at any point relative to each other. Version I allowed the tilt and shift axes to be either aligned or set at 90 degrees to each other, and changing between the two settings required partially dismantling the lens! With ...

There are three major differences between the two lenses:
Focal Length/Field of View. The TS-E 24mm f/3.5 L II is almost twice as wide as the TS-E 45mm f/2.8. The 24mm has a diagonal angle of view of 84º compared to the 51º of the 45mm lens.
The TS-E 24mm is a much more recent design that is part of Canon's "L" series of lenses. The TS-E 45mm is an older ...

Reasons for the price difference are:
The TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II is part of Canon's luxury "L" series, whereas the 45mm is not
The 24mm is a much newer digital era design (all lenses are discounted with age)
The 24mm is a lot wider (see Why are wide-angle lenses so much more expensive?)
Most uses for the tilt function are to maximise depth of field, so ...

The focal length you want depends on what you want to do with it, and also if you want to use it on a crop camera, or full frame.
I think that a very common purpose for a tilt shift lens is architecture, and for this I would suggest the wider lens of the two. The tilt shift possibilities of the two lenses are almost the same, but due to the different focal ...
