The Tilt and Shift I.S. is a new system which is suppossed to be optimised for Macro. Tilt accounts for lens droop or rotation of the camera and shift allows for body and lens moving in parallel such as in surge.
The size isn't to bad at 3.05 x 4.84 inches so should fit ports okay.
This is also the first Macro L lens Canon have done, but the down side of that will be the price !
No news that I could see on the Ratio yet, hopefully at least 1:1 or even more would be nice.
I've been pondering a while on next piece of glass, looks like this might do nicely for Christmas.
Credit and thanks for the news goes to Canon Rumours.
Cheers,
