Chip, here is how I do it (on tripod):
(-1) Take off lens cap ;-)
(0) Center lens and open up the manual stop-down
(1) Set general aim and dead level the tripod head and camera
(2) Fine tune head traverse and recheck camera level
(3) Focus
(4) Shift until framed as desired, refocus as necessary
(5) Stop down and set exposure manually using TTL metering, or in AE mode
rotate aperture ring and select desired aperture and shutter speed combination
(6) Trip shutter with cable release
