Hi guys, please forgive a dumb question that I should know the answer to by now. I'm doing a shoot this afternoon that requires a lot of front lens tilt that pushes the limits of the image circle on my Nikkor 450M. The image is visibly fuzzy at the corners, and I'm wondering if this fuzziness gets any better, or goes away completely, by stopping down the lens? I have tried looking at the grould glass and stopping down the lens, but it is quite dark in here and I can't see anything when I stop then lens down. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
