New Tilt-Shift lenses?
I've received a few bits of information about new L tilt-shift lenses from Canon. We've heard there would be a direct replacement for the 45mm f/2.8 and it would be an L. We've heard that the 90mm f/2.8 would be replaced with a TS-E 135mm f/2.8L. This is not the first time we've heard that the 90 tilt-shift would get a longer focal length.

We also understand that Canon is redesigning the shift mechanism on the new tilt-shift lenses and that they won't share the same design as the TS-E 17 f/4L and TS-E 24 f/3.5L II. I would gladly welcome a more reliable design to the shift unit, and hopefully Canon can make the new lenses a bit less prone to broken knobs and other issues that I have seen.

I asked if updates to the TS-E 17 f/4L and TS-E 24 f/3.5L II were likely if a new design is seen as more reliable and I was told it would be unlikely beyond some stealth updates. Design changes can be implemented in lenses over the years they're in production.
