Motorized slewing to the corresponding shift and tilt values set in camera so it can be easily repeated and highly accurate. Coupled with AI in camera would make perspective correction or stop animation etc a breeze.

New Canon Tilt-Shift lenses in the wild [CR2]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Not expecting it for this generation of TS lenses, but dropping hints for a certain manufacturer to implement in future iterations... *ahem wink wink*

"tossing around 50%" would mean you crop literally at the horizon, which is a fairly rare occurrence in my experience. I find it's more like a 60/40 ratio most of the time and ideally I've aimed for an image using 24x24 pixels so basically 2/3 of the area which is using the 5dsr as I did, nets 33Mp which is good for even large format coffee table size books and publications as well as a 36" print easily.
I don't understand how even at 50% you end up at only 18Mp from a 45 Mp sensor unless you're cropping out a horizontal image from the top portion.

Yep - I do the shift-stitch thing, but almost always it's a vertical shift. Not always a horror mess - sometimes I'm just adding sky. The time does indeed add up! And I can't make myself buy and use one of those clamp-the-lens contraptions. If Canon would only put a shoe on the lens like I forget the German lens decades ago,,,

The Rogetti lens mount is great. I've used it since it first came out. Prior to that was a terribly cumbersome deal that took time to mount and only worked well in one direction such that you had to tilt the whole system sideways for a left/right 36x48 result, but it worked when there was literally nothing else on the market.
Yes, the easiest shift-add-on is some sky or landscape with a whole primary subject contained in the main shot. Once 50Mp bodies were born, this was less important but previously when there were fewer Mp and only a 24 tse, it was practically mandatory.

At last I can have a T/S lens to play with! - when the used market is flooded with unwanted TS-E 24s and the price drops like a stone ;-)
Personally I have no need for AF, nor would I gain much from improved reporting if indeed that happens. But I'm sure many others will want these things, and if the RF lenses are physically smaller that will be attractive too.
My EF-EOS R drop-in adapter and I are waiting for your cast-offs!

I have noticed in photos from olden times that models used to stay perfectly still for a long time for photos like they still do for sketches and paintings.

Absolutely but no one smiled in the old photos
Maybe we should all meditate a little more with a focus on stillness!

With focus peaking a different work flow is possible.
The follwing three pictures were shot with the TS-E 90mm and R5 handheld.
A tilt macro lens with AF would be a dream!

Doing a 14mm shift ‘because they can,’ o super.
Can someone please do a 35mm shift lens as 40 year old CZ 35/2.8 PC-Distagon desperately wants to retire…

SLR wide-angles are far larger, more complicated, heavier and more expensive than non-mirror lenses where they can put the rear elements as close as they want to to the sensor. All those factors can be reduced by making the SLR lens less sharp and so on. I imagine an RF 17mm will be so much better than the EF version you'll find the upgrade compelling. Even without the specific advantages for wide angles, the modern Canon primes often are far far better image quality than the EF generation: the 50/1.2 and 135/1.8 show huge improvement, for instance.

For me tilt is an attractive feature of the TS lenses but since digital cameras I've not been excited about shift. It's too easy to just correct perspective in Photoshop. I've been using the TS24mm from 1996 and wrote several of the first articles on the web about it (such as one Philip Greenspun put on his site) but I think I sold it a few years after getting the EOS-1Ds MkI.

Correcting for shift prior to digital was not hard either, just tilt the paper plane under the enlarger to make perspective corrected prints.
That said, I still feel the resolution loss from photoshop correction is greater than perspective correction on film. Ideally it would be done at time of capture.

That'd be easy with black and white, prints, hard for color prints, and becomes impossible with slides. My stock photography was all slide-based but I shot my topic with correct perspective. Usually though it was just a matter of holding the camera level, not using shift. I didn't actually use my 24TS much at all, except weirdly to make some super-wide panoramas shifting left then right then manually stitching the results together.
