If we do any tilt-swing with the camera standards we'll "linearly" distort this projected circle into an ellipse, that will be recorded in the negative. Any tilt-swing will always result in a projected ellipse. True... Does not?
> Then always we can find and tilt-swing inclination of the paper under te enlarger than will restore a circle on the paper, from the ellipse that was recorded in the negative... thus obtaining the same image (focus plane apart) that it would have been obtained without any tilt-swing done with the camera.
This is the reasoning I was thinking it was correct... I'm not sure of it... In any case, what is it incorrect in this reasoning??
