Using tilt-shift lenses for greater depth-of-field
When you can't get enough depth-of-field (DoF) with a small aperture, and your subject is more or less on a single plane, (ie, 2D), and focus stacking isn't entirely feasible, then using a Tilt-Shit lens to control your depth-of-field .might be the solution. This video will show you how that work.
In this video, I used the Canon 50mm f/2.8 tilt-shift lens (B&H /Amazon) on a Sony A7RivA via a Sigma MC-11 adapter. In the video I also discuss the limitations of using a small aperture for maximum depth-of-field. Read more inside...
