Shoting Landscape with X113

Thank you, Jaap.. though I would appreciate more explanation on this, as I am not sure if I understand that correctly, especially on "..400m the DOF is something like 300m."

It is a 23mm lens, depth of field is already very deep just by nature of the short focal length.  Further more, the farther away the subject is from the camera, the deeper the depth of field.

 

You have three ways to control depth of field in photography; focal length, aperture and subject distance.  With the X, unless you are very close to your subject and shooting wide open, you will always have fairly deep depth of field.  At long distance you always will, even at f/1.7.

 

For landscape shooting I usually just take my X off of A and focus at infinity with the aperture adjusted to the light and no concerns about focus unless my subject is very close.

Thanks, got it! 

 

Now after all those kind enlightment from you guys; I can't wait to shot landscape with the X113 again (this time with more confidence..)

WEll.... I guess the most finest pictures can be gotten when f 2- 5.6, not likelt f8 with Leica X.
