Well, it's an option anyway...

There have been many non-view camera's with tilt. The Hasselblad V series 
had 
the Arcbody and the Flexbody. Rollieflex had the SL66, and I'm sure there 
were 
others I do not know about. The Alpa series has a component you can buy that 
adds 12mm of tilt, but it only works on lenses of 80mm or more and only on 
their 
"short barrel" series.

The Alpa is considered a "technical" camera. All components are 
interchangable. 
There are bodies with no shift, only shift (or rise/fall if you turn it 90 
degrees), both shift and rise/fall and they all take the tilt addition. The 
choices can be quite overwhelming when you go to their site:
http://www.alpa.ch

It's REALLY a lot of fun!!
Best,
Bob

Bob uses an Alpa which does have tilt...
