Not true.  When manually metering, the exposure will be off if the lens
is shifted, however an AUTO/OTF exposure will be correct.  Refer to the
shift lens manuals.

Someone recently remarked that you won't get an accurate exposure
reading when a shift lens is off-center.

Hel-lo?

Unless the lens has severe edge fall-off (which shift lenses are
designed _not_ to have), there is no difference in metering with the
lens centered or moved all the way over. What matters is _what_ you
meter, not the part of the field it's in.
