>>>I think you will find it is more like shifting the camera 10mm divided
by the magnification, e.g. if you are photographing something 35 m from
the camera the magnification with a 35mm lens is .001, so shifting the
lens by 10mm is like shifting the scene 10 m in the opposite direction to
the shift.<<<

So to get the top of a tall building, I'd shift the lens /down/? Isn't an
SLR supposed to correct right-side up and left-right?
