Well to clear things up a bit... I was talking about [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheimpflug_principle"]using lens movements of a t/s lens to maximise the area in focus[/url] and then using an optimal aperture for sharpness instead of using an ordinary lens which would lead one to rely entirely on excessively stopping down (possibly going outside the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_aberration"]optimal aperture for the lens[/url] and/or the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_of_photography#Diffraction_limit"]DLA of the system[/url]) to increase the area in focus <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Thanks for the clarification. I have never used a tilt shift lens before. Heck, I have never seen one in person! I definitely would like to play with one someday as I love to learn new techniques. Your statement above helped me to put the usefulness of a t/s lens a little more into perspective. (no pun intended)
