    Re: Easy-Bake Scheimpflug Recipe

    No idea how I got 21.8 ... unless I did arctan of 0.4. Doh!

    Re: Blurry Focus on 4x5 Portraits

    Usually when I am shooting a f1 lens on 35mm, when I miss the focus, either the other eye, eyebrows, nose or ears are in focus but not the eyes. In your shots with jpeg compression, I do not see...

    Scheimpflug in practice

    I read Sharktooth's write up on this but by the time I would have done the maths, it would be faster to do in practice. I have watched Fred Newman's video on tilt and shift. He showed on his camera...

  15. Re: Berlebach tripod and Induro PHD3 head - overview

    +1 for the super-cool Bagyi, which now looks like being tall enough. I haven't found the movements limiting, maybe because my 35mm cameras all have a RRS base and right angle plate, so I never need...
