Hi, (beginner question)
I’m confused. I read some of the archives about hyperfocal distance when tilting, and basically came
to the conclusion that after tilting I just need to stop down until everything is in focus and forget about hyperfocal distance.
However, when reading here: http://largeformatphotography.info/how-to-focus.html, it suggests focusing on far, then tilting until near is sharp, then refocusing…etc…
Or focus on near, and tilt until far is sharp, and repeat …etc…
Then it says that if you have asymmetric tilt, you only need to tilt once.
Now here is the problem: if I have asymmetric tilt, I can either focus on far and tilt until near is in focus, then I’m done. (one iteration)
Or focus on near and tilt until far is in focus, then I’m done. (also one iteration)
But wait, if that’s the case, and both are correct…….in each case, the standards are different distances apart(!), right?
Is one more correct than the other, what’s the difference?
If I’m just using regular (non-asymmetric tilt), then I assume that weather I start by focusing on near or far, with the
Iterations, I’ll end up with the standards the same distance apart.
Thanx in advance,
sammy
