To be really awesome, we can call it the Carpentier Principle as that is who Scheimpflug claimed invented it. ;D

Would optics on a lens like this be usable for normal tilt-shift work or would it only be for macro work?
If both this could be a great way to get into two fascinating areas of photography, I've been thinking about the 100L Macro for some time, this has got my attention though

Not really. Shifting a TS-E lens can be useful when shooting panoramas. Also when using something like the TS-E 90mm for close-ups, adjusting the tilt often changes the composition. It is much more convenient to add some shift to compensate for what the tilt did to the composition than to try to move the whole camera and lens.
The 90mm TS-E is a great close-up lens, especially when used with extension tubes. Macro capability will only make it better. Independent rotation of the tilt and shift angles as in the TS-E 24mm and TS-E 17mm would make it superb.

That would be the key. That is a functionality that is desired by a lot of shooters.

Macro TS? I've been using close-up extension rings on my 90TS for fifteen years, mostly to do ultra close-up details of products. It's a different "look" than using using the 100L f/2.8is macro. I've also used the close-up extension rings with the 16-35 f/2.8II. In a world where points of difference count, it's just a different look.
However a purpose built TS Macro would be welcomed by plenty of photographers around the planet.

That would be a big deal for me. I do a lot of closeup photography (insects, mainly) and the most vexing thing is keeping as much of the subject in the plane of focus. It's really a pain. If the subject isn't exactly parallel to the lens part will be sharp, part will be blurred. A macro lens with tilt/shift capabilities would be extremely helpful.

Contax had a T/S bellows. With some adapters you can get a Canon working on it. It will only work for more serious macro (not close ups), but at least you don't have to worry about running the lens out of coverage, because image circle gets larger due to projection of image. And working aperture only.
Also remember TS only changes the placement of the focal plane, it does not magically extend DOF. For that you have to get into stacking.

Don Haines said:More proof that Canon does not innovate
I don't think people ever accused Canon of flat out not innovating. I think the criticism is more that they either do so slowly or that they make their innovations commercially available more slowly than some would like.
Canon's patent portfolio and similar IP holdings show how much they innovate.
As to this rumor - I look forward to seeing if it pans out.

That has, in fact, happened quite frequently. Usually, the people making such statements define "innovation" solely as improved low ISO DR.

Don't you mean CF slots? For this type of lens it would have to be CF. And 2 x CF at that. And where would the power come from the camera or would this new lens also have a new battery then? Might need an upgrade to the mount in order to transmit all that data to / from the lens and the body. Hmmm....and then, if you added an antenna to the lens, well you could then Wi-Fi the data to your laptop even. But that might interfere with the tilt mechanism somewhat too. Shift would be fine though right....
Card slots in a lens opens up so many choice! So Canon?
LOL!
