Greetings Peter,
Sounds like a great trip and I look forward to seeing some of your
scanned images. Regarding the 35 Shift: mind you I've never actually used
one of these lenses, but according to the Unofficial OM Sales Info File, the
35 Shift has a practical field of view of 83 degrees which is more akin to a
24mm lens instead of the usual 63 degree field of view of a typical 35mm
lens. You may find it more to your satisfaction than you realise. Another
plus, it's about one third the cost of the rare and lofty 24 Shift.

[Snip] I feel that with the 28/2.8, the 90/2 and the 200/4 I can cope with
any
situation I encounter, except for two: buildings, and the night. For good
compositions of buildings, I really missed a shift. Knowing how much I
like the format of the 28mm, I don't think I could stand a 35mm: it's too
much of a standard lens to me. I'd probably want to add the 24mm shift to
my 28/2.8 and see how well I manage: for general purpose, the 28mm would
be a nice, compact take-it-anywhere lens, and when I visit a city or a
temple or so, I'd take the shift in adition.
