I used to use a FD35mm t/s lens on my F1n years ago.
The shift aspect is fantastic for keeping verticals vertical, but there are limitations. You can also photograph reflective surfaces without cathing your reflection in the image.
The tilt aspect controls depth of field, and you can achieve great DOF at maximum aperture, but you need to use a tripod and it is time consuming as you have to keep making minute adjustments to the settings. But once you get the hang of it its easy enough.
Just go out and enjoy it.
