    Does your front standard tilt? If it does, set the focus on the frame and tilt to get the flowers in focus.

    Re: Still life - DOF problem

    Back in the day . . .way back, the Graflex press cameras had an added-on range fildet (Kalart ). /there was an additional accessory light that could be attached to the eyepiece. /this projected two spots of light. As the RF was focused on a target subject, the two spots would come together, When they superimposed, the subject was in focus.

    More recently, folks have substituted an LED laser for the little flashlight. While this doesn't address the DOF issue, something along this line of approach might supplement your efforts to accurately place the plane of focus.

    There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!
