If you confine your tilts and swings to the rear of the camera, you will not run into any problems. Your target area actually shrinks as you tilt or swing at the film plane. You will not have much rise or shift possibilities with the 105, 120 and 150mm lenses and none at all with the 65 and 90mm lenses.
I have a genuine Horseman lens shade that is intended for the 90 5.6, 105 3.5, 120 5.6 or the 150 5.6. At least that's what is engraved on the shade. I would sell it for $20 plus $4 for shipping. I also have the zoom viewfinder complete with the accessory hand grip. I hadn't thought of selling it, but probably should as I don't any longer have the camera and I never use it. I'll ponder that a bit.
If you are looking for a compact 8" lens with 5x7 coverage, I would recommend the Kodak f7.7 203mm Ektar. It's a great performer and I have an extra one of those I might sell as well. Mine would come with a slip on 33mm series 6 adapter and a series 6 shade. I have series 6 filters if you are interested as well. Send a PM and we can discuss off line.
