Decentering movements. Swinging movements. Who cares how we say what we say as long as we manage to communicate?
"Movements" is probably the most inclusive generic term.
"Shift" would be movement with the lensboard parallel to the film, regardless of direction.
"Swing" would indicate rotation about any axis perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens.
"Lens rotation" could indicate angular movement about the optical axis.
That would be meaningless unless the lens suffers from some grotesque aberrations.

If you believe you can, or you believe you can't... you're right.
Amen brother!
We have members from all over our country plus many other countries. Who cares if we talk a little differently?
Anticlockwise - in British English. Too bad you don't know it. Still bad tempered?
This is not a British site.
It's an American site, using American English.
Still clueless?

Leigh, the Brits of this forum must love you. The policeman of this site has had his final word?
Here you go -- just fill in your name...
The Fujinons are really good, as good as the other 3 major brands, some say that made with a really good QC. EBC coating also really good.
An issue with Fujinons is that they usually come Seiko shutters, and there is some general dislike with those shutters... Seiko had high expertise in clockwork, (a lot), and perhaps they made shutter designs with too complications.
Seiko shutters are very good, but it looks that servicing these are not as easy.
I've the 90 and 65 EBC Fujinons, superb glasses, I bought both for little money but because shutters were not in shape. As I like to see my life complicated, I messed (with a friend helping me) inside the Seiko clockwork...
I guess the better price of the Fujinons is because a share of the buyers avoid Seikos. So, what I recommend, if you buy a Fuji, is that you make sure the Seiko is working OK.
Understand me, I'm not saying that Seiko shutters are not a good option, but I suggest you to investigate a bit on shutters, as this is the single component that can "fail" with use.
Regards.
Oh, dear. Not quite correct.
Early Fujinon LF lenses are in Seiko shutters, newer ones are in Copals. And then there are some in or on Shanel #5s.
Re general dislike of Seiko shutters, please speak for yourself. If you must make strong claims, please support them with data.
More generally, please make sure you're right before laying down the law.
