Well done, Mike, saw that one close for a very attractive price - didn't
notice the buyer id!
Yes, you do have to set exposure before shift, the sequence is:
Align camera with back parallel to plane of subject
Determine required exposure (remember that the shift lenses have manual
aperture, you need to press the stop-down button)
Shift lens as required.
BUT I suspect that on the later OTF metering bodies, you can actually meter
after shifting without too much problem.

SHIFT 2.8 lens MINT (7597077356)
Cool lens, hope it comes OK. Much cheaper than "OlyUSA". I guess this is
the one subject to flair.
The high sn ones in Germany were >$600.00. I paid alittle over half. Hope
I wasn't too impatient.
Does the exposure need to be set prior to shift? Seems like it may take
some getting used to.
