What you describe is either setting at 3\' (oof) or so or tilting up instead of down (causing the miniturization that you don\'t want).
The first time I used my tilt/shift (rented), every picture was blurred. Almost turned me off on the lens. I think I was tilting up instead of down and causing miniturization on some and too close focussing on others.
At f8 it should be in focus from 10\' to infinity if focussed near infinity. So I went back to checking where infinity is on my lens in the light and then leaving it there (okay sometimes I peak on the screen). It works fine now.
So practice the lens markings to get it right, and tune with live view and then check to see you have not gone to far on the lens as a final step is my suggestion. Because 24mm should be sharp near infinity from close to far .
I have also heard that the common mistake is too much tilt. Try experimenting in the light.

Practice in the light, figure out where infinity is, and then fine tune with liveview is my tip. Because 24mm should be sharp near infinity from close to far .
