Canon has recently announced two stunning tilt/shift lenses for EOS bodies, the TS-E 24 mm f/3.5 L II and the TS-E 17mm F4 L.
Digital Photography Review has recently posted a "quick look" at the TS-E 24 mm f/3.5 L II:

I note one possible error in the review. In Part 2, the reviewer states that the tilt axis can be rotated through a range of 90° (in one direction) with respect to the shift axis. (The shift axis itself can be rotated over a range of ±90° with respect to the camera body.)
The Canon press release indicates that the tilt axis can be rotated by ±90° with respect to the shift axis.
This seems more reasonable. A range of 90° in one direction will not allow the user to provide for all tilt axis orientations that might be needed.
By way of reference, in the earlier model of this lens, the relationship between the tilt and shift axes could only be a choice of 0° or 90°, and the lens had to be disassembled and reassembled to make the choice.
