i’m extremely excited by these two lenses, and being an architectural photographer want both of them, just need to get a lot of work to pay for them

Yeah, because everyone buys a t/s lens to reproduce a gimmicky look.

Nevermind people who want to shoot architecture with correct perspective or any sort of work where increasing the apparent depth of field is desired.

*yawn*

Vincent Laforet killed it with the T/S, anything else from this point on will just be an imitation of his work.

[...] CanonRumors are reporting (via Achatzi, an Authorized Canon of Germany reseller) that a TS-E 17mm F/4L is due to be announced at PMA next week. They even have pictures to “prove” this… [...]

id also like to see the 45 redesigned… as an L and as a macro… i think that would be a one lens killer on FF

On the German forum, Martin Achatzi added:

“Randscharf auch total verschwenkt bei offenster Blende, kein roter Bereich mehr.”

Translation: Sharp to the frame edges even with full shift at maximum aperture. There’s no longer a red zone on the tilt/shift scales.

It’s interesting to see in the photos of the two lenses that there doesn’t appear to be a tilt scale on the 24mm while there is on the 17…

That’s the focusing distance in meters…

Going from 0.25, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, 1, 3, and then infinity. (The green text is it in feet)

The photos look too complicated to be faked. If they are fakes, thats some amazing work.

17 is great, but when 17 coming will renew 24 tilt be good idea? it will be a marketing nightmare, these two lenses are too similar to one another.
