Hi this week went out and tested all my lenses DF and Cambo. All at 1.5 and 4 meters and at infinity. At all apertures.I had thought the rodis were optimized for wide open? On their site it says they recommend you stop down as little as possible. Instead they recommend the use of tilt to keep everything in focus...
I could be wrong, but I am almost always shooting wide open unless I need to stop down to get more in focus.
Ray:When focusing and tilting in the same scene different things happens to the far and near focusing point as consequences of this two different methods.
Which is the best? It depends, in my opinion, on the scene I which to take a photo of.
If there is a middle object on the same plane as I want to put my far and near focus points,
then I think the "P" has a small advantage for me.
But if you understand the difference between this two construction, then it really doesn't matter how your tilting mechanism is constructed.
Observe that I only speaking about tilt and focusing without any other help than the ground glass and a loupe.
I will later make a detailed description with photos of how I focus this two different bearer.
But at the moment in a period with to much work. There seems to be some kind of natural law stating that "The more toys you want, the more you have to work".
This is of course utterly unfair, in my opinion

Do you know of a link so one can see this loupe? I've searched previously and not found it. I'm a bit curious to see how it looks. I guess/hope it's larger than my 20x loupe...The 12x loupe is pretty small

How large is the field of view? 5mm? 10mm?
Pic I'd base.Rough iPhone pics attached.
Square base is 1cm square. It's small but fine to use.
Beer bottle cap for reference.
