I usually use front tilt to set the mid-point of focus about 2/3 or so into the scene then use rear focus to the focus the highest point in the scene if I have one, then stop down to expand the focus wedge.
I have not used rear tilt yet other than if I am pointing camera up or down. Then i move the front standard so the lens points intot the scene at the same angle as I pointed camera up or down. Then I tilt the rear standard to again be parallel to the front standard.
I need to read up on using rear tilt only.
Dead tree at Sunset Crater AZ. 210mm G-Claron, f/32, red filter, Tmax100. At least that is what my memory tells me.
