Eddie,

You might try the tools in ACR or LR to align. In ACR, I opened your image and selected "Transform" from the top menu. Then I used the guides tool on the upper right. 4 guides, two horizontal and two vertical on the center section of the roof.

Here's what I came up with. I left your black crops in so you can see the amount of change.

Thanks Gene. Ive actually got DXO Viewpoint 2 but ive never took the time to learn how to use it yet. I need to make a point of doing that for situations like this

Heres the first one ive edited from Chester Cathedral. I need to work on my technique of these type of shots as I could only get one side aligned and the other 3 are off (unless its the actual building?)

Wow, absolutely awesome image quality there - amazing sensor and lens!

You keep me thinking about switching from Batis 18 and 25 to CV 15 and Loxia 21. These shots are making it hard on me. Nice work with the 55 and 85 too.

Yeah the detail at 100% is insane in this shot especially the roof on the left and the light roof panels in the centre

Eddie, were those shots handheld or on a tripod? I see the SS at 1/15, so assuming not handheld...when you are focusing with the CV, are you just rolling it to infinity or using focus peaking or the viewfinder?

When I see 1/15 6400, I'm assuming it IS handheld

Travis , the interior shots were all handheld. With the CV15 I set it to f/5.6, auto ISO, ISO selector to "slower" and focus to the infinity hard stop and it gives me front to back sharp focus (that's how I shoot my loxia too)

a FF camera with a 15mm @ F5.6 focused to infinity has a Near Focus Point of approximately 4.3 feet

if you focus the lens to the HyperFocal Distance (HFD) of 4.4ft, you will pick up an additional 2 feet of focus and your Near Point of Focus will now be 2.2 feet and you will still have focus to infinity

for interiors, those extra 2 feet, being in critical focus, can be a huge plus

Hockey and wedding photographer. Favourite camera / lens combos: a 1DX II with a Tamron 45 1.8 VC, an A7Rii with a Canon 24-70F2.8L II, and a 5DSR with a Tamron 85 1.8 VC. Every lens I own I strongly recommend [Canon (35Lii, 100L Macro, 24-70F2.8ii, 70-200F2.8ii, 100-400Lii), Tamron (45 1.8, 85 1.8), Sigma 24-105]. If there are better lenses out there let me know because I haven't found them.

Hyperfocal gives "acceptable" focus at infinity. I prefer critical sharpness at infinity. From my testing with this lens its the best way to get front to back critically sharp focus. I honestly dont know how the foreground could be any sharper than it is, this lens is a laser

the reason I made my comment is that you mentioned Interiors, not outdoor landscapes, where the 'infinity' focus would be more appropriate

not sure of the distance markings on your CV lens, but a middle ground, between your infinity focus and HFD focus, let's say 10ft, gains you a foot and a quarter nearer critical focus to 3ft from your 4.4 feet
