I'm having difficulty figuring out a focusing problem and would appreciate any suggestions.
I use a Hassy Flexbody with a P45+. When I use an 80mm or larger lens the image circle is large enough to allow me to use the full rise/fall range of the Flex. So putting the P45 on with sensor horizontal allows me to do one exposure with the rear standard at full rise and one at full fall position and stitch. So far, so good
Now here's where I get messed up. If I want to use tilt to get near/far for the entire stitched image, I think I have to focus and tilt when the back is in full rise position and then refocus and re-tilt when it's in the full fall position. Or, do I only need to use tilt when I'm in the full rise position (on the nearer objects) and no tilt focusing, but do refocus for distance, when in the full fall position (on the far objects).
Thanks for any advice offered for using a technique for this body.
