is based upon the properties that I have already discussed. Recall that everything fromhalfyour hyperfocal distance until infinity is in focus; so, to find the hyperfocal distance for a given scene, you can simply double the length between your lens and the closest...
Once you have the information, you need a lens with a depth of field scale on the barrel to tell you the distance at which the lens is focused. Many lenses have these, but some don’t (including lots of kit and pancake lenses). Distance scales aren’t precise, so be prepared to wor...
Look at the guilded lenses, the only marking you have on these is the focal length. No F stops, no distance markings. The only really practical method for determining hyperfocal distance is pretty much trial and error by selecting your near and far points and focusing about a third between ...
If the lens is set to focus on infinity (the infinity mark is over the central mark on the depth of field scale), then you only need to read off the distance value for the f-stop mark to the left of the central depth of field scale as everything between it and infinity will be ...
At top is the distance scale (on the lens' focus barrel) showing figures in feet and meters (this also shows the infinity position).Below that are a set of lines beneath which are the f-stops of the lens. This is the depth of field scale. For each f-stop, there are two ...
