:Does shifting a shift lens (say the 35 Zuik) up or down by so many
:millimeters, say 10, correspond to changing the height of a
:non-shift 35mm
:lens on a camera up or down 10mm via tripod?
No. Shifting a lens has a similar effect of using a lens with a larger angle
of view (shorter focal length) but only using part of the frame ('auto
crop'). If you take two pictures with the 35/2.8 shift with maximum shift in
both directions and stitch them, you get the equivalent of a shot taken with
a 24mm lens. One shot corresponds to a shot taken with a 24mm lens but a
part cut off. The math behind this can be found on the excellent pages of my
fellow countryman Jan Willem Markerink:

He also has a page with an overview of tilt & shift lenses:

Note that the 35/2.8 has two different shift distances: 12mm up/down and
10mm left/right.
