Lens Tilt and Swing / Depth-of-Field Calculator025130Walter E. Schön has been leading the Linhof large-format seminars for years. He developed the calculating disc for setting the Scheimpflug angle and the optimum aperture when working with adjustable view cameras.
Highest sharpness, perfect mastery of perspective and optimal use of depth of field by Scheimpflug are strengths of the large format. But although Scheimpflug is clear to most “in principle”, many fail to do so in practice: they try, fiddle, and finally give up because they don’t achieve any improvement. My Lens Tilt and Swing / Depth-of-Field Calculator solves the problem and also provides the ideal aperture and close-up exposure compensation. Walter E. Schön
