Me too, that's actually one of the reason I started shooting MF tech, because there was no 35mm tilt-shift for my Canon. With the 1.4x III + TS-E 24 II one gets an okay 35mm, at least on a 20 megapixel camera, but it's not more than acceptable. However, with an adapter you can use a rare Contax 35mm shift lens (no tilt) with good results I've heard. I want tilt too though.

An f/2.0 aspherical ULD prime in the 40/45/50 mm range. NOT leaf shutter.
Why? Because full-frame 35mm land is blessed with very fast, very sharp standard and semi-wide primes. If the IQ250 is to compete with those bodies, in those sectors, it needs the lenses to go with it.
I'm compromising by selecting f/2.0 instead of f/1.4...for weight & cost reasons.
If I were Henrik Håkonsson, I'd offer this new lens as the "kit standard" with any body + back combo. The days of the 80/2.8 standard lens should be over, especially with cropped backs like the IQ250. The new lens would be priced at $3k on its own or effectively at $1.5k in a kit bundle.
