@ahsanford: You don't need to see it's tilting and shifting. This is not the 50mm lens you're looking for. Move along.
Seriously, it looks like a very interesting lens, althouth personally I have no need for a 50mm TS, and I've got three macro lenses already...
drjlo said:While tilting gives you some nice options in combination with Macro, it's still not going to approach stacking in terms of depth of field.
It would make it easier to swallow that price if this lens had at least f/1.8-f/2 aperture for a little more portraiture shallow-depth-of-field use in place of a traditional 50 mm portrait lens.

I'm kind of reinvigorated with Canon, I know that is an unpopular idea! But after the 1DX MkII's this year I'm looking to get a 5DSR MkII when it comes out, this TS-E50, the 85 f1.4 and maybe the 35 f1.4 L (I really like the 35 f2 IS though, so maybe not!).

I found that my TSe 17L is a bit soft with a 2xtc. The 1.4x seems fine though. I have a TSe 45mm, which I bought years ago, which is a lot of fun to use. But I hardly use it. But it is the right tool for the job when one needs a TSe 50mm ish prime.

First it was an f/1.8 STM underfeatured mess.
Then it was this T/S that few were screaming for (and lacks AF, so it's obv DOA for me)
I'm fairly certain we'll get two more 50s soon: a new retrofocus L pickle jar lens the size of Delaware, and a new autofocusing 1:2 compact macro just to p--- me off. :-[
