It has given me yet another reason for lusting after the 1.4X Zuiko
Teleconverter which would put the 35mm at a 50mm focal length.

Save your pennies, John. There are plenty of reasons to lust after the 1.4x, but putting it on the 35 shift isn't one of them. It will go on when the lens is centered, but fits so snugly that the lens will no longer shift.

Besides, if you have PhotoVista, you don't really need to use optical shift. PhotoVista does partial pans with any focal length. Spring for the checkerboard screen (I've got 'em in all my bodies) and make sure you overlap at least 250f each frame. I've done successful 90mm and 180mm partial pans this way. An added benefit is that parallax error is less significant at longer focal lengths.

Oh No!  I think I'm catching whatever it is that's been going around the
list recently.

Based on wanting a 1.4x? I'd say you don't have to worry yet, until you start lusting after the 24 shift, that is... ("Architectural specialty lens?" Only if you consider trees, canyons, mountains, and waterfalls as architecture... :-)
