Recently got a nice use Tachihara 4x5, my first ever film camera, and had a few shots drum scanned. The distant areas of the image were not as sharp as I thought they were, and am a little confused as to how to focus. I shoot landscapes.
A few tutorials I did read required the rear standard be tilted back a little, but I don't think this camera does that. I think I understand the concept of the Scheimpflug principle, but doing it is driving me nuts.
Of course I live in Florida and it must get to be 175 degress under the blackcloth and my glasses fog up, but I am willing to keep at it but would like to hear what steps you guys to get the best focus.
Cheers
