You're certainly right as to tilting, I never use this function, and, sacrilege?, never use tripods.I'm not into architecture, but in city "tourism"... Nevertheless, corner sharpness, compared to the TSE 24 II or even EF 14mm II,could benefit from some improvement. The corners are certainly sharp, but I'm convinced, looking at the latest TSE 50, 90 and 135, and Nikon 19mm TS, that corner sharpness could be improved.
Just ordered the book--too bad the shipping to the US is almost as much as the book!
Looking forward to learning more about these lenses. May rent one some day to play around with.I think you're right because the MP-E 65mm f2.8 1-5x macro lens uses the same designation. It is also manual focus. Even though I've owned this lens for at least 13 years, I'd never thought about this before. But it does make sense, and would explain the E suffix on the tilt-shift lenses.
Appreciated!I did buy my printer, the Pro-2000, and few other bits and pieces through your affiliate links so I’m trying!
Thanks!Just ordered the book--too bad the shipping to the US is almost as much as the book!

The -E on the tilt shift (TS) and macro photo (MP) lenses designates electronic, for the electronic aperture. EF = electro focus.

The T/S focal length you need will ever be the one you don't have. Slippery slope, my friend.
We're talking about E-commerce. No shelf. Canon USA does not sell it's prosumer cameras, lenses, or Cine equipment via a "Distributor". Buyer, Seller, Shipping, Warehouse management. For e-commerce. (preorders and first come first serve selling e-commerce is NOT brick and mortar). Period. it is precisely how automated inventory (WMS) and warehousing (ASRS) works in large vendor warehousing. With Incoterms rules being the standard for shipping and delivery, NOT the old "brick and mortar" chain methodoloy that you are familiar and refering to. Consumer purchases directly from the warehouse inventory via online e-commerce. Automated warehousing (WMS) has become a staple for mass inventory in North America. The seller may or not be responsible for the purchaser's "Distributor" beyond the point of deliver determined by the Incoterm coding. The number purchased and WMS has nada to do with the shipping/distribution. Warehousing and Inventory management are the growth drivers of e-commerce.

I like your commentary but it's human nature to always want more. You know the dialogue, "Now, what have you done for us today, Canon?' More, more, more......It's fun to see history repeat (or at least rhyme) on this forum. Anyone else remember the good old days of some begging for a "high megapixel monster" and the debates of whether it was necessary or overkill? Then the 5DS and 5DSR came out with 50MP. Canon listened (though didn't get much credit from some forum dwellers). Now we have a prosumer R5 shooting 45MP at up to 20FPS with vastly better dynamic range, low light performance and incredible eye-detect AF...and we're once again looking forward in anticipation of a "high megapixel" body -- the goal posts have just shifted to 80-100MP now.
If you are an authorized Canon retailer in the USA you get all your stock through Canon USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon Japan. Canon USA are the sole importer and distributor of all authorized Canon equipment imported into the USA and Canada (because Canon USA wholly own Canon Canada). An authorized retailer cannot purchase Canon equipment without going through Canon USA. All authorized retailers have stock allowances that are on terms, that is, if they agree to take x number of units they get them at y price per unit to be paid for at a point in the future. The bigger x is the lower y is, to a point. All authorized Canon retailers have to take an allowance of relatively niche products to fulfill their authorized status which is why you sometimes get a deal on a niche lens in person or via CPW at a mom and pop store, they want to sell it before they have to pay for it. When items are in short supply Canon alone dictate the distribution to the various retailers. Retailers don’t pay for stock up front, neither brick and mortar nor online retailers. They all agree terms, well actually Canon USA specifies the terms of payment but it always has an element of credit to it.We're talking about E-commerce. No shelf.

A familiarization with the Incoterms rules may help you differentiate before assuming incorrectly any similarity.

The idea that autofocus for TS lenses is a great feature is nearly idiotic unless the autofocus they employ takes into account the changes in the plane of focus manipulation afforded by these lenses. The use of TS lenses requires a slow and careful tuning of the tilting “front standard”. To make the new models AF lenses, just for non-tilt use, is senseless overkill, and the careful process of tilting and shifting a lens clearly invites manual focus.
I like the way Mr. Jam says two conflicting things, "There is inventory that retailers have to pay for. Oh wait, that's not true? Okay then, it's all e-commerce and no one warehouses their own inventory."
AF would make these new TS lenses more practical when used as a ‘normal’ lens and therefore more attractive to a wider audience.
