A rumor about new “L” grade Canon tilt-shift lenses surfaced. It has word that there will be an “L” lens to replace the [shoplink 14608]TS-E 45mm f/2.8[/shoplink]. There is more: the [shoplink 131]TS-E 90mm f/2.8[/shoplink] will be replaced with a TS-E 135mm f/2.8L. Moreover, it appears that Canon is designing a new tilt-shift mechanism for this kind of lenses. It does not appear that the [shoplink 244]TS-E 17mm f/4L[/shoplink] and [shoplink 14604]TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II[/shoplink] will be replaced.
