My best wishes to @HelenaN and @mike reid - your series are truly beautiful, but so cold and snowy... We, Cypriots, do not understand beauty of snow))))
Looking at/over a portion of Taormina from the ruins of the Teatro antico di Taormina (the Ancient Greek Theater in Taormina). A portion of the side of the volcano, Mt. Etna (which is 17.3 miles away as the crow flies from Taorimina) can be seen to the left at the rear of the image.
Hand Held relying on Camera IBIS, A1 and Voigtlander 50mm f2 Apo-Lanthar Asph, FE mount lens; silent shutter.
ISO 100, F8, 1/200 Second.
Eposure Corrected +0.09 Stops.

At the Teatro antico di Taormina (the Ancient Greek Theater in Taormina), Taormina, Sicily, Italy.
Love your shots of those cathedrals. I used a Canon 24 T&S on my Sony cameras quite a few years ago, loved it but sold the lens since I wasn’t using it much. Hope Sony will make some T&S lenses for those who need them. For now I just level my wide angle lens and crop away the unwanted foreground in post. I don’t shoot architecture much so that’s the solution for me now.

Thank You Douglas. I now mostly do the same - The R4 was a bit of a game changer for me with the pixel count, plus I mostly have to hand hold as tripods are rarely allowed in these places, I always use(d) DXO Viewpoint anyway for perspective fine tuning - current choice for these is Laowa 11mm.

Right now the widest lens I have is the Voigtlander 15, not quite wide in enough sometimes if I use it this way. I had the Voigtlander 10 and 12 in the past. I am somewhat tempted to get a used Sony 12-24 f4 just for shooting interior architecture. I think at the 12mm end if I Ievel the lens and crop away the unwanted foreground, I may get a somewhere around 18mm view of a T&S lens? I know a lot of resolution will be lost but it's just a hobby for me. Granted, here in the US we don't have those grand cathedrals with historical background those like in Europe, the few big ones we have are merely over 100 year young or even newer.

I think you are about right - useful calculator at the end of this article - depends on orientation and amound of shift.

Do you ever feel like a complete and total fool when shooting? One of those times for me was yesterday shooting this tiny little hummingbird who perfectly perched on our lemon tree. I had my 200-600 ready to go and he let me get about 10 feet away. Perfect!! I had my camera set to 1/1,000 second and auto iso…or so I thought. It was actually set to 1/100 second. And I only noticed when he finally flew away. I was so mad when I saw my shutter speed. Luckily, I had a few that turned out. Idiot. 🙂
Lovely shots! As to your question, I feel that way far too often. I just got back from Bosque del Apache. Quite cold mornings for this southerner. I think my brain froze along with my fingers
