Re: Sensor and lens tilt and how to DIY adjust your equipment
I'm impressed by the level of detail, the work and the chasing of perfection....
but....
I can't imagine caring this much about minute differences in sharpness that you need to zoom in 200% to see clearly. These improvements will almost never be seen in a print - you'd have to print huge, then compare two images side by side to even notice it. The amount of times I need to shoot something perfectly flat at a wide aperture where the depth of field would not cover the differences are so incredibly rare as to be essentially unimportant. You mention Astrophotography as such a thing, but the motion of the earth under the stars is going to impart more movement to the stars than would be apparent from such an undertaking.
Such a process may make sense for an individual prime lens with rather severe focus tilt, but outside of that this just seems to be a tremendous amount of work for very minute improvements.
