"Long awaited, my 85 mm f/2.8 tilt/shift Nikkor finally arrived yesterday."
"As delivered, the 85 PC has its shift and tilt movements orientated at right angles."
etc.
Extension tubes can be mounted on most lenses - 85/2.8 PC included - however I don't like using them. They rob you of too much light. That's why the only extension tube I have is the 12mm one. I had a whole Kenko set but rarely used the longer tubes. That's also why I prefer to work with lenses that inherently have as big magnification ratio as possible.

Lenses that focus closer also "rob you of light".... Macro lenses can lose more than 2 stops at MFD.
