25 degrees is way more tilt than needed if going for max DOF in those shots.


Close range requires quite a bit of tilt. It\'s a different story when you are focused further away where a few degrees will give you all the shift in focus plane that you need for focus from here to eternity.

I should add, the PB-4 is NOT the ideal tool for carefully adjusting the right amount of tilt as it only has a single plane of tilt (left-right or horizontal). If you want vertical tilt then you have to alter the camera 90 degrees and also the PB-4 or the tripod head itself. Setting intermediate angles would be a pain in the butt so I wouldn\'t even bother in most cases. The Mirex kills the PB-4 for functionality and adjustability but they are different in many respects too so it\'s not really fair to compare them.
