Thanks. The f/3.5 weren't sharp but it was me misfocusing with no AF confirm, not a lens problem. My imagine composition sucks. I need a heavier lens.

M_Six Cream of the Crop More info | May 07, 2013 15:45 | #7 Not sure. I know T-S lenses when used for big DoF will have more of a focus "wedge" than a focus plane, with the narrow end closer to the camera. But until I get my own T-S and learn how to use it, I'd be just guessing as to how you'd set it. Mark J.

May 10, 2013 11:13 | #11 I have a couple more here. They are more for debugging than pretty pictures so I didn't move them here. I plan to upload more shortly (to that thread): My imagine composition sucks. I need a heavier lens.

. It's an embarrassing question to ask but what the hell. How exactly do I calculate the correct shift angle to focus on the ground in front of me? And is there a solution for the problem of roofs being out of focus while the ground is in focus?
