in the situation described above, where no initial rise or fall was involved, if you tilt the lens down, you might have to move the back up a considerable amount to get adequate lens coverage, and...

yeah, but not as much as regular front tilt (without the front drop)? that is also my question.

what if i "simulate" back tilt by tilting the entire camera down, then tilting the back to be perpendicular to the ground. would this require *no* coverage? or less coverage?

hi,

I know that back tilt does not require as much coverage. but how much less than front tilt? for instance, if i get 5 degrees of front tilt, could i (instead) get 10 degress of back tilt? is...

ken,

>Um, lots of tilting and wide angle lenses don't really go together

i may shoot 6 x 9, and use more tilt than usual. would I be better off with the boss screen in this case?

hi,

Am i better off using a bosscreen instead of a fresnel with a wide angle lens if i'm going to do a lot of tilting?

Is there a disadvantage to using the fresnel with movements (just...

thanx steve,

on these boards, i've read a lot of positive things about the maxwell screen. ebony is the only maker that i have seen that deals with the "wide-angle-lens-viewing-problem". maybe...

hi,

would the ebony wide angle fresnel do as good of a job in evenly illuminating the light as the maxwell fresnel and screeen (using the 47 xl)?

for those using the ebony wide fresnel with...

hmm.

is the monocular linof just as bright as the binocular arca/horseman/linhof?

has anyone used this? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home;jsessionid=B1sFMyM9ho!-1147207979?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=31211&is=REG
is it better than the horesman 23 that people use...

yes ellis, i want the flower very very close to the camera. thats what my question was predicated on- perhaps i should have my that clear before. whats the answer? thanx again

also, here:...

thanx so much Ellis!

i think things are getting clearer in my mind.

here is another question.

i really want everything in focus, because i want to have the flower (foreground) and mountains...

thanx Ellis,

one more question. i read that when using no movements, you just focus on near, then on far, then
just focus at the midpoint - and that would be the hyperfocal distance.

does...

yeah,

i guess thats whats confusing!

but Gelnn, can't i focus far, and tilt once (asymmetric) until near is
in focus?

if this is the case, then i could *not* do the same by focusing on ...

thanx for the responses...but they still did *not* answer my question.

if i want a flower and mountains in focus using *asymetric* tilt, i can focus on near
and tilt until far is in focus or the...

Armin,

you said "the XL has 166mm as stated in the brochure and this is quite conservative if you stop down to f22 or 32!

can you tell me (about) how much coverage you get if you stop the 47 xl...

>The classic example, I think, is the situation where you tilt the plane of sharp focus down >to the horizon to get "everything sharp" from the ground in front of the camera to those >distant hills
...

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...

hi,

has anyone made this work?

thanx,

sammy

hi,

if i mount a 47mm xl on the cadet wide. can someone tell me how much front tilt I could possibly get
if the the standards are 60mm apart until the standards touch?

thanx

what would the coverage of the 75 sw be at f22?

thanx so much.

how can landscape tilt be different than portrait tilt?

hi, the xl 72 has 226mm @ f22 , would the nikon 75 sw (200mm f/16) have the same if it were stopped
down to f/22 also?

yeah, but how can they have the same coverage (166mm) yet the 47 has more tilt?

hi,

the lens chart here: http://largeformatphotography.info/lenses/LF4x5in.html

says the Super-Angulon XL 47 has 166mm @ f/22 and 11.25 deg of land tilt,
yet the Super-Angulon XL 58 also has...
