This is a shift adapter. You can buy it adapted to several standard mounts, I chose Canon + Olympus as I own plenty of these lenses. The adapter can be shifted 10mm off axis and then be turned in any direction for perspective control. It covers full format, so shifting is not limited on an APS-C camera. The test was done with a full 10mm shift.

The adapter can compete to a certain degree with a real shift lens, which is very expensive. A genuine shift lens might be better, but you have only one focal length at a high price. The adapter is moderatly priced. It is very sturdy hence its weight. It is easy to use. It's fun to experiment with its possibilities.
