This short animation compares three shots, each shot at the same downward tilt of 8 degrees, but exposed with a different aperture (f/16, f/8, f/2.8). The purpose of the experiment is to show how an increase in the stop, widens the focus “wedge”. In the animation, the area shaded red is out of focus.

I am approaching this subject from the perspective of landscape photography, which is just one of many uses cases. Other use cases will be discussed separately. Tilting, swinging and shifting, or using a more general term, camera movements, refer to actions taken that change the orientation of either the front lens of a camera or…

Movement of the lens board on a view camera is intended to adjust the plane of focus. The lens board can be shifted up or down, or left or right. As well, it can be tilted forward or backwards on its horizontal axis or on its vertical access. Movement along the vertical axis is referred…

One of the outcomes of previous Fujifilm View Camera Adapter G tests was to observe the zooming effect of the adapter. My analysis indicated that the effect was equivalent to the addition of about 61.7mm, which corresponds to the distance back from the film plane that is the digital plane. This makes a 150mm lens…
