Tough, no; expensive, can be but not necessarily.

All you need is a view camera with tilting/sliding/rising/falling front and
back. Biggest problem IMO is that when you correct for converging lines you
get a "flat iron" appearance. My preferance was/is partial correction -
after all, lines *do* appear to converge when we look at them - to avoid
camera induced accentuation of same.

As far as expense goes, you can easily find a decent used camera such as
Cambo/Calumet, Omega etc. *with* lens for around $500. Toyo too but
probably a bit more. One does not *have* to have a Sinar
