I know that Nikon made and may still make a lens that shifts for correcting
architectural photos. But, they were normally only available on wide angle
lenses. These are real oddballs.

Nikon also has an 85mm perspective control lens. It's evidently quite
useful for product shots; I've never used it, myself.

The problem is they really aren't wide enough for landscape or architecture
uses. I found this out with the 35mm shift zuiko lens I owned. You need
something closer to 24mm or at least 28. Might be useful for tabletop
"product" or food etc types of things where DOF can be problematic?
Otherwise they do make nice lens mounts and these should be a quality
product.

Canon has three similar lenses for more money.

The Hartblei mount seems to be a bit more flexible, the Canon glass seems to
be a little sharper.
