It's a special lens which allows you to move the lens elements in
relation to the film plane. Gives you a small amount of control over
the perspective of your photos (like the kind of control you get with
a large format camera).
For example, you can shoot a tall building without the somewhat
annoying "keystoning" effect.

And ... if you shop around, you can probably find a 4x5 view camera
*with* a "normal" lens/shutter & a couple of film holders that will give
as much or more control than a shift lens for just about the same price
you'd pay for that shift lens alone.
