It "ain't" gonna work for a 21 or 24mm lens in a down town high rise area. DOF at the easel is limited. If you stop your enlarger lens down to f/16 (40/50mm lens) or f/32 (135/150mm lens) your printing exposure times will be weeks ;-) instead of minutes. Reciprocity will kill your efforts. Early Leitz enlargers has an easel system for correction. But it would only correct very small convergence problems. This does work, but for small prints and minor correction.
