Shift lens

A lens that can be swapped out for use with some digital single-lens reflex cameras and medium-format cameras. When photographing tall subjects, such as skyscrapers, the lens allows for a restricted range of camera motions, including a feature that allows the lens to be raised upwards to avoid converging verticals. This is extremely helpful. Alternately referred to as a PC lens.
