You may find that you get very little useful shift with this lens. I  have used
a 35mm PC on the RoundShot 220 and could use most, but not all, of the shift
before I ran out of film coverage. Since 24mm is the shortest lens that covers
the film, a 28mm shift lens will not shift far and still cover all of the film.
You might use a shorter lens (20mm and 24mm are cheap) and crop.

This is conjecture, as I've not used that particular lens:camera combination.
But based on similar experience, I'm skeptical. You might want to rent the lens
to test coverage.

Now if you want major shift, use a 35mm lens from a Mamiya or Pentax 645 on a
Zork adapter, or have the camer modified with the shifting Hasselblad mount.
