In reality you're not altering DOF by tilting the lens, but rather skewing your plane of focus. Dig around online and try to find some large format photographs that show a significant amount of tilt with a large aperture. The effect is quite striking. -- Scott Loveless New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, USA http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
