Of the four options for setting up the T-S lens only one (left) really works correctly. The smiley faces indicate the quality of sharpness on a traffic-light scale.

This scene has been annotated with circles at the marked angle to the horizontal. Note that with the camera level the middle distance scene is 15° below the feet. However, if you consult the diagram on the previous page you will see that the plane of just acceptable focus is just a degree or so from level.

In these circumstances critical sharpness can only be achieved by rotating the camera downwards and losing a bit of sky. This could be recovered with a small amount of shift.
