John,
I\'ve used F8, but the best sharpness I\'ve seen was on F11. I did f8 for a purpose, to show the benefits from tilt without increasing DOF.
What other lens have you used with your setup? I am thinking to get soemeting wider for architecture, but can\'t find any non-expensive solution. I know Schneider Digital will work great, but.. still hoping to find something less expensive.
My setup is really just a toy to play with. I\'ve never used it in anger (for any useful purpose) so I\'ve only used the lenses that I already have. The APO 80/4 is the widest lens I\'ve used but my setup is not conducive to using wider lenses whilst yours is.
I don\'t think the large format/35mm body setup is conducive to architecture either but only because it\'s not easy to get wide lenses at a reasonable price. Maybe a Mamiya 645 or Pentax 645 35mm lens is worth looking into. These are not terribly expensive and the retrofocus design would still allow infinity focus on your setup (not mine). I have an RZ 50mm lens that I\'ll look into attaching to my system but I don\'t think my body is close enough to the lens mount to get infinity.
