Having never worked with a tilt/shift system ..and seeing the possibilities with newer software ....what makes the most sense for a new landscape photographer .
PANO vs WIDE ANGLE .....do you really need or want the ultra wides (e.g. Rod 23 ) or are you better to use a 40 or 70 and create a Pano ?
The Pano obviously is cheaper and can create way more MP . Less distortion but at the expense of limiting depth of field?
FOCUS STACKING VS TILT/Shift ......I get the need for T/S in architecture to minimize distortion but in Landscape ..I would be looking for depth of field . Normally this requires bumping up against diffusion by using smaller F stops (F11 being my ideal ) . But doesn t FS allow me to shoot at maybe F8 and take 3-4 captures tp obtain near to far sharpness.
Are those the trade offs or is there more too it ?
