Help, I am a new (lonely) LF photographer, (lonely because LF is highly unfashio nable here in U.K.). Question - In landscapes where the requirement is for depth of field from 3-4 feet to infinity I am finding that by focussing at infinity a nd then watching the GG as I tilt the lens, I require about 3-5 degrees of tilt to get the foreground in focus ( I found this out through your web site !). BUT on using an aperture of f22 the distant background is not in sharp focus. What a m I doing wrong - should I adjust my plane of focus to nearer the camera or use a smaller f-stop. I am using a Polaroid back but the image produced does not acc urately show depth of field. I would welcome any help/tips as Polaroid film costs a fortune here !! I like landscapes that have plenty of foreground detail as well as a sharp backg round. In MF I use a Silvestri with a 6x9 roll film back and with my 47mm Schnei der or 100mm Schneider have no problems despite a lack of tilt on the lens. My L F camera is an Ebony SW45 and I am using a Schneider 110mm XL. Am I expecting to o much from my LF ?
