If you know how to handle and set depth of field to what you want then you are set.

If you know how to guess distances fairly accurately then you are set.

All that's left is to learn where the focus lever is to set distance then you are set for fast focusing.

I tooko your advice and ordered it.  It arrived this morning.  Wow!  Lots of technical wonder, but looks like a good reference and 'dip-in' book.  Thanks.

A true classic
