To get the perspective correct on buildings over about 2 stories requires use of a Perspective Control lens. This means you're going to need to use a Digital SLR to shoot, and even that's problematic, as PC lenses rarely work with the digital bodies, even if they mate. IIRC only Nikon PC lenses will mate with any Digital SLR's, Nikon, Kodak and Fuji DSLR's to be exact, and the only DSLR's that will meter with Manual focus lenses like all PC lenses, are the F4 and F5 based 3MP Kodaks from a few years ago, which are still extremely expensive, as they were upwards of $6000 new. And PC lenses aren't cheap to start off. <br /> <br />So, this is a non-trivial exercise.
