what does this do?

I don't really know what those lens mounts are, but m,y guess is that this adapter uses larger format lenses on a 35mm adapter that allows you to tilt the focus plane - yes similar to a tilt shift lens- unfortunately you probably need the larger lenses for this. I have no idea how available or expensive those lenses are. Might be a cool thing if you can get the lenses for it at a a decent price.
 
according to this guy's auction
If you photograph architectural subjects with a conventional wideangle lens aimed up at the building, perspective in the photograph looks unnatural. Lines converge and the building appears to be leaning backwards because the subject and film plane are not parallel to each other. The TS lens provides a solution to the problem. Shifting the lens allows desired framing while keeping the film plane and subject parallel. This also eliminates unnecessary foreground in the process, improving overall composition. This shifting ability can also be used for photographing images in a mirror or window thereby excluding the photographer's reflection.
