[pure-silver] Re: Large Format Tilt

From: <C.Breukel@xxxxxxx>

My question still stands:
Back focussing is the same as front focussing?
It is, but only at far distances where lens-to-subject > ~10x the focal length. 

At near distances the back-subject distance is set first
for the desired magnification and then the lens position
is adjusted for focus.  It is easy to remember the order:
it is the same as with an enlarger.  For fun, try doing
it backwards...

With cameras that twist into pretzels, like Sinars,
with appropriate twisting there can be quite a difference
between front and back focus - though both will drive you equally mad.
