Shootist Posted November 19, 2007 Share #21 Posted November 19, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Actually I don't use the scale at all. WhenI want narrow DOF (most of the time) I use the lens wide open, when I want selective focus over a wider range I set the lens to f 5.6 or f8.0, in the rare cases I want everything in focus I use a WA at f 16. I focus exactly on the subject and let the DOF fall where it may... Yes but you do use the scale, otherwise you wouldn't say 5.6/8/16. It is a reference. I do the same but I do look at the scale to see what number it is on to determine if I have the lens stopped down enough or open enough for the type of shot I want to produce, either shallow or wider/deeeper DOF. I still pick out one thing in the image I want to be dead on, or as close to dead on as I and the lens/camera can make it, and let the rest work out as it may for the "Type" of shot I want. So we are on the same page. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
