Paul Gallagher using a 3-inch loupe on his LCD. This accessory is almost essential, especially in bright sunshine.

In the 'scene' image note just how close the test target is. This is almost exactly the same set-up as was used in the main landscape image of Paul's, shot across Kilbrannan Sound towards Arran. For ease of comparison we have cropped and montaged the two parts of the test scene together (and lost the dog) before captioning them with the conditions used for tilt and focus.

The sharpness achieved along a flat plane is high.

As you might expect, the tilt has a significant effect on the sharpness through the image, a result which was never in doubt but the demonstration shows just how close you can image parts of a scene. We repeated the shot sequence using both the Samyang and the Nikkor T-S lenses.
