Hi Joe, Yes definitely I really enjoy using the zoerk MFS for lots of subjects. It will focus to infinity so it could be used for nearly anything. It's not ideal for all things however since you can not fit much wider than 80mm optics and most of the enlarger type lenses in that range do not get much faster than about f/4. The quality of enlarger lenses is very high however. Another note re: the MFS is that its not graduated - just merely a spherical joint with helical focus attachment. While you can get 30 degrees tilt, you'll never know what it was set at, or be able to set it for 2 degrees for example. When doing landscapes, 1 or 2 degress tilt is plenty but you'll have a hard time knowing if that's what you have or not. You pretty much have to rely on what you see in the viewfinder. Zoerk also makes a shift adapter but I haven't used it. Thanks to the others who commented on the latest photo. Regards, Eric
