I've used my 28mm Nikon architectural shift lens a few times for railroad subjects (on one of my 35mm Nikon bodies). Interestingly, I've used the lens shifted down when shooting from a vantage point and found that it gave me a pleasing image. This is a preset lens, and for best results, you need (1) to use it only with the camera on a tripod and (2) with a grid type focusing screen. -- Ernest -- Ernest H.
