Hi!

Does anyone have experience shooting jewellery with tilt-shift using bellows? Specifically the old nikon PB-4 bellows. I just bought one and it's amazing but I'm looking for a good flat-field lens. The lenses I have now are too curved like most normal lenses. I get ugly blurring the more I tilt. I think it's due to the curves of my lenses.

For those unfamiliar with tilt-shift photography or view cameras - it's a way of angling the lens to change the plane of focus - in product photography you can capture much more of your subject in focus than with a normal angle lens. For example, in macro photos of a necklace with a nice dramatic composition, only the one focus point is actually sharp and the rest of the necklace gets progressively fuzzy. Sometimes I really like when everything else is out of focus except that one specific point to highlight an area, but for certain things I want it ALL sharp. You could take multiple shots with different focus points then stitch them together, but I'd rather be making stuff than spending extra time with photoshop.

good examples and better descriptions than mine:
