Yes, you can get very good results doing that. I've done it a number of times. In theory the pivot point should be at the center of the lens elements, but what are a few millimeters.

It is important to 'lock down' the camera exposure setting so the automatic metering does not vary the exposure for each frame. It is also important to convince the photo lab to lock down their printing exposure. The later is the hardest part.

Just got back a roll of Royal Gold 100 with prints and PictureCD that was
shot using the Zuiko 35mm f/2.8 PC shift in a panoramic experiment:

1.  Used the OM-4 with a Winder 2 on a tripod with leveling bubble (used to
ensure the camera was level).
2.  Took (for most of them) three shots, one shifted far left, one centered
and one shifted far right without moving the pan head on the tripod.
