The two main things I can see it being useful for are architecture and landscapes.
For landscapes - you could use it to basically get more DOF without stopping down so much. For architecture - well that seems pretty obvious.
You can eliminate the perspective distortion without have to mess with it in PS (and thus degrade the IQ), and without the cropping that would be required to do it in PS.
I mainly want one for the things they were intended to be used for.
The other effects that people try to fake all the time, yeah it might be fun for a while - but that's not the real reason I want one.
This is what I've had my eye on (for quite a while, lol):
Canon - TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II Tilt-Shift Manual Focus - 3552B002 -
Even though it will take me a while to save up for it, I'm pretty sure that will be my next lens... There are no cheap (<$1000) toys left for me to buy, lol.
LOL, my "Lenses" wishlist at B&H is just over $16,000.
...One day.
