burger Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Just read the post on the 24mm Tilt & shift lens. Will one have a better view of what is going on when using the live view on the 40D or other bodies with live view? With thanks, Dennis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilbur_wong Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I would think so for tilt control of focus. Shift and tilt both affect "perspective" (vanishing points, vertical and horizontals for example). Tilt additionally and more importantly affects focus, particularly the plane of focus. (Google scheimflug for deeper explanations) Large format photographers while viewing their ground glass which may range from 2 x 3 up to and beyond 8 x 10 additionally magnify what is on the ground glass with loupes ranging from 3.8X power up to 8X ! When I do it I am magnifying only a small part of a 4 x 5 inch view. You don't stand a chance of seeing this detail through the pentaprism, especially with a less than full frame camera. Live view if it allows you to magnify only a portion, may be sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lester_wareham Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Ross, have you tried adjusting tilt using live view? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burger Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 On my 40D you can manify 5X and 10X with it's 3 inch screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
