John,
I used to do montages all the time. What I used was a fixed aperture
of f8, 60 foot long lens system with two magnification settings Low and
High. This was sticking straight up from a mobile tube 33 feet in
diameter and 273 feet long called a submarine.
With the concept that the pictures taken had more value if they were
true "candid" the submarine stayed submerged. I did get quite a few
sessions where I used as many as a dozen shots to make one montage.
Where I am going with this, I think, is that the shift lens, the
wonderful thing that it is, is probably the last lens to use for a
montage unless you don't use the shift.
You will likely never get the adjacent frames to match because your
perspective will be different on the various shots.
