Hi Michael,

I'll attach a link to the excel sheets from Jim Colwell from Fredmiranda.  He 
doesn't mind a bit  as long as they are attributed to him--which I just did!

http://www.jcolwell.ca/photography/calc-info/

It is the first link in the calculator section.  I like the d.tilt table and 
the graphs on p.tilt sheet. He formulated these for Mirex adapter with Mamiya 
lenses but I don't think the 
format really matters, but will defer to any LF users on that. I usually tilt 
to a bit over half way what will be the optimal tilt for landscape and focus 
where I think is about right at my chosen aperture and use the usual iterative 
method to refine things.  It is quite difficult for me on 35mm.  Sometimes I 
resort to focus stacking even with the tilt.

Tilted Mike


 
  
Dear Mike,  
  
   
  
  
   I have read your feedback carefully and you're right, my action was not    
Scheimpflug and as you said that    Scheimpflug only to tilt front stand only. 
Thank you for correction.  
  
   
  
  
   I don't have the tables you mentioned and would you mind to tell me how can 
I get them? Thank you very much!!!!  
 
 
  
  
   
    
     

Cheers,
Michael

 Hmmmm? Scheimpflug to tilt plane of focus with front standard, no? Rear 
standard tilt should make the tire not round.    
 I do not have any LF experience (yet) but have a Mamiya version Mirex T-S 
adapter for OM and a T-S bellows with Oly fitings--quite fussy to use. LF I bet 
   
 easier to see what you are doing. I would over tilt at first for landscapes 
but found surprisingly there actually is an "optimum" tilt for landscapes    
 for any given FL, and height. Getting the focal plane just right at optimal 
aperture is no easy matter with even the Imax OM VF. I have a few tables 
somewhere for them, but suspect you have them and many more.
