Thanks for the link. There's actually a lot of good basic info at that site.

That was a really good camera, and still serves some people well to this day. I set it up with dual Mirex adapters and had a very flexible outfit. But the shutter shock was a major annoyance. My ...

In a few places I've read that the weight of a fully empty cart is 37 g. Here's an example: ...
-
Little side note on this... I've never been able to adjust the other settings (distortion control). They are greyed out. Perhaps these are only available if you're using a smart adapter?
-
I think it would depend on the view camera. My VX23D was designed from the ground up for digital, so there's good stability and precision. I used to have a Toyo D45M, a really nice professional's ...

My pleasure. Sharing what we know is the best part of this forum. Here's another example of how sneaky and tricky flare can be. When I finally figured it out it was easy to fix (and inexpensive), ...
-
Glad you fixed this simply. Every adapter I've owned (so many) has required treatment of the inside to eliminate shiny bits that cause reflections. Even better than gaffer tape is self-adhesive ...

I think you're right that a lot of the photography that people used to do with camera movements can now be down with the techniques you list here. But a lot can't be done with those techniques. You ...

You bet. To do a flat-stitch two-frame pano, you want to hold the lens steady and move the sensor, so your tube ring solution sounds ideal. The nice thing about shifting on APS-C is that each mm of ...
-
That would be a great "in the hand" combination for trying out all kinds of movements. It's a bit on the long side for APS-C, but that shouldn't be a barrier to figuring things out. Before I ...

"movement master"? I feel like the Sorcerer's Apprentice in Disney's Fantasia . ;) The nice thing about movements is you can get a lot of bang for your buck without having to go all the way into ...

The bush is safe! Here I've added some labels to explain the lines. As you can see, the little bush falls within the area of acceptable focus. Exactly like "normal" photography, this is the area on ...

People start boomerang lessons all the time and quit, but they always come back. ;)

Once you figure out what's happening, it's actually fine. Think of it this way (all images from Tim Parkin's tilt demo tool). First this: From my feet to infinity is in focus, including the little ...
-
Yes, it works just fine. The stacking program doesn't care; it just finds the sharpest pixel in the stack for each location in the photo. Why would you do it? Let's say you want to run the plane of ...
-
Here's what I mean with a picture. In this scene, I wanted everything sharp, including those taller plant stalks about half-way into the scene, the plants at my feet, the surface of the water, the ...
-
If you like math and formulas, there are tools and tables you can use and bring with you into the field. My approach is very simple: focus far, tilt near. The hardest decision is where you want ...
-
The thing is, no, you can't use focus stacking and Photoshop to do what you can do with tilt. The white line in this image from Tim Parkins' tilt demonstrator is the plane of focus. Unless your ...

Mike, that $2,700 VX23D has been on eBay for a couple years now. I think the seller either forgot about it, or is wildly optimistic! It's possible to find them for $500 in "well loved" condition ...

I should have clarified: Epson is allowed to lock out third-party carts in North America, but not in the EU. I'm not sure how that applies to you in the UK now post-Brexit.
