in my experience the 24mm and 35mm shifts will throw the metering out
when shifted on any camera with a light sensor behind the mirror. This
is because the light rays no longer enter the mirror chamber
perpendicular to the mirror and since the mirror acts as a polariser it
cuts off much more of the light than the metering system expects.
you can experiment with the metering errors when shifting easily, get a
large grey card (or expo disk) and note the suggested exposure
non-shifted, then start to shift and quite quickly the camera will want
to add more light up to around 2 stops and the result is massive over
exposure....
For Olympus film users the "off the film" monitoring in auto
automatically corrects for this. Digital has no similar feature. I meter
non-shifted (or use a hand held light meter) and then lock the exposure
or use manual and then shift. I add 1/3rd or 2/3rds of a stop depending
upon how much i shift the lens.. this is just to compensate for light
fall off when shifting.
