Yes, turn my 4x5 Tachi on its side, and presto:
• Front rise/fall converts to front shift
• Front swing converts to front axial tilt
• Back swing converts to back axial tilt
My Tachi’s manual doesn’t acknowledge these movements, but I do!

The great degree that small changes in lens position can have on composition always amuses me, sometimes astonishes me.
The same with small changes in the tripod’s location.
