Although I've not yet started exposing film, while teaching myself LF I've been spending a great deal of time on 'dry runs' to get used to the workflow and setting up.
One thing that I've noticed is how little tilt I need with a 90mm lens, I was focusing on a scene from the pebbles in the most foreground to the buildings far behind and I needed less than a degree (maybe one degree but I doubt it) to get everything in focus. I still needed to stop down to get the tops of the trees in the background in focus but it was very little tilt to achieve so much.
My 210mm seems to need more tilt but even then I would have assumed that to match the plane of focus from my feet to the top of the buildings would need the same degree from the lens as in real life. But it isn't so. With swings I need more of an angle, nearer what I would expect, but not so with the tilts.
Am I doing something wrong?
