I am thinking about buying a camera that doesn't have lateral shifts on the front or back. I know that I could emulate a shift by using a combination of swings on the rear and front standard. My question to the landscape photographers out there is how often do you use lateral shifts? Would you buy a camera that does not have shifts?

FYI, I am looking a an Ebony RW45. The camera seems well constructed and has swing, tilt, and rise on the front and swing and tilt on the back. The price is right. Other Ebony cameras with lateral shifts are much more expensive. Thanks for your help!
