Canon is rumored to reveal new tilt-shift lenses at Photokina 2014, while scheduling a special event on April 24 in Hong Kong.

Replacing its tilt-shift lenses is one of Canon’s main targets during the “year of the lenses”, sources have revealed. This year is not living up to the expectations, as we have discussed on numerous occasions, but everything should change at the Photokina 2014 when several new products are rumored to become official.

The latest event in a long series of the Photokina 2014 announcements consists of some new Canon tilt-shift lenses. They have been said to be revealed in 2013, but this deadline was already  missed months ago, so inside sources are now claiming that we will see them in early September.

New Canon tilt-shift lenses to have L designation, coming at Photokina 2014

Canon TS-E 45mm f/2.8 lens is rumored to be replaced at the Photokina 2014. Additionally, another tilt-shift model with a focal length longer than 90mm is coming at the same event.

Although rumors should not be means of raising your expectations, human nature prevents us from doing otherwise. Either way, this time it appears that the information comes from a trusted source who has been right in the past, so tilt-shift photography fans should look ahead with hope towards the Photokina 2014.

The source has confirmed that the TS-E 45mm f/2.8 lens is being replaced by a new model. However, the TS-E 90mm f/2.8 lens will live on. The second tilt-shift optic scheduled for this year’s Photokina will have a focal length longer than 90mm, but it will definitely not serve as a replacement for the 90mm version.

Nevertheless, both will be “L” optics. This designation refers to a high-end Canon lens aimed at professional photographers. An L lens will provide higher image quality and it is more durable than conventional Canon lenses as well as more expensive.
