And this assumes that you want a perfect join, from top to bottom.  
Surely, with all the other problems that exist in lenses, you would not 
want to use the whole coverage of the lens, top to bottom, when joining 
images to make a biggy?

So, why bother with a shift lens, unless the fiddling with the shift is 
an end in itself? ;-)
