Actually, Olympus prototyped a tilt/shift bellows. There is a picture of it
in the Heiberg book.

These lenses dont tilt (bend), they just shift left-right and up-down.

Imagine an image circle significantly larger than the 24x36mmm 35mm frame.
Teh shift lens allows you to move the rectangular frame around inside the
image circle.
Hope this helps,
