[Leica] IMG: Foothill Park

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Hi Michiel,
Not an Arcbody. They have their own set of lenses and don't accept regular V 
lenses.
I use down to the 40mm on the Flexbody. Have the 50 too. Both weigh a ton!! 
So 
I'll cover the same FOV with panning and stitching.

But your question does raise a problem I've got, which maybe someone can 
help 
with. 
With a 40 or 50 you can use tilt to get extreme foreground and background in 
view. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do that with stitching 
with 
the 80. If I put the back in the extreme down shifted position and use tilt 
to 
bring the top of the image seen into focus at the same time the bottom of 
the 
image is in focus fine. But then when I shift the back up to get more 
coverage 
of the foreground that tilt configuration doesn't work. Everything is OOF. 
So do 
I have to refocus and re-tilt? That would be a bummer because things (e.g., 
clouds) move. Taking off the dig back, putting on the GG back, re-focusing, 
and 
then taking the GG back off and putting the digi-back on; phew! Lots of 
time...

Anyone think of another way?
Thanks,
Bob

Best,
Bob

No wide angle? Or don't they work with an Arc body?

Cheers,
