Default Tilt-shift lenses for macro

Anyone using Canon's tilt-shift lenses for macro work? I'm wondering whether these are better or worse than conventional macro lenses.

Default Re: Tilt-shift lenses for macro

JD- what would be the aim of using one ?. Don't think they are particularly close focusing (ie not macro) and from some limited experiments I did with a reversed 50mm lens mounted on a movable connection, I never managed to get a shot with more in focus (from tilting the lens) than I could by just moving the camera a bit.
