I am sorry Hans, but I think you are a little bit wrong here.
Yes, the 35mm shift's image circle covers the angle of view of a normal
24mm. (The 24mm shift eaquals that of the 18mm).
But if you have to tilt a normal 24mm lens to get a building in the frame,
you also have to tilt the fully shifted 35mm shift.
AFAIK, The right approach would be: If you can get a building into the
frame on a normal 24mm lens without tilting, you can also get it (the
height) into the frame with the 35mm shifted. If you can get a building.
Same goes for normal 18mm and 24mm shift.
