In point of fact, the Canon 24mm T/S lens has a full auto diaphragm. They
are able
to do this because the EF mount is all-electrical and uses a stepping motor
in the
diaphragm to move the blades.

No AF on that lens, though. But then it wouldn't be much use on a tilt lens
whose
purpose is to play tricks with the plane of focus :-)
