Would f8 or 5.6 be a tad sharper and with the tilt still get from your feet to infinity? What did it look like in the ground glass before you stopped down? Its an f4 lens? I thought the point of a tilt is to not have to stop down so much but use the optimum f stop of the lens you want to not the one you have to to get DOF?
