The Rollei lenses didn't have any greater coverage than the 
Hasselblad lenses, nor did the Schneider lenses so shift wasn't 
possible with any of them. Yes, Schneider made the PCS, but that was 
for the 6xxx series, and Hasselblad sold the 1.4x Mutar, but that was 
a rather lame and poor solution.
