Thank you.

Another word I've been mentioning lately -- "tilt."  This one -- http://paulroark.com/Cambria.html -- was with the SL66 and 150mm.  It could not have been done very well without the tilt.

Cambria - sorry I migrated you to the UK for a bit there.

The image is fantastic and the printing is such craftsmanship.

I have a print Paul did with sand dunes at Oceano using tilt that is marvelous. Not having tilt on 120 has been a great pain. I shoot with 6x17cm pano and it is not as necessary but 4x5 or larger is best for near far tilts for me. I'm tempted by Pauls new toy, I mean tool but not yet.

See http://paulroark.com/OceanoDunes.html

That shot was with the Rollei SL66 and 50mm Distagon.  What I failed to say in the short notes on that image is what a pain it was to correct for the defects in that Zeiss lens.  It was clearly meant to be shot at infinity focus.  With the amount of tilt needed for the Oceano Dunes shot not only does it need to be at f/22, but still the corners were a mess that needed a lot of work to repair.  Hopefully Canon has designed its new 24mm TS-E to be less sensitive to focus distance, but it's historically been a problem with retrofocus lenses.

I had a Bronica years ago with a tilt bellows but it was only usable at closer distances. The focusing mount for the camera lens was mounted seperatelly on the body and would bayonet out for mounting the bellows. I always thought the SL66 design idea was great just they seemed problematic cameras mechanically.
