(We are talking of flash bulbs in daylight.) Edison/Mazda base bulbs (same base as ordinary light bulbs) produce tens of times more light than an on-camera electronic flash. I can come back with various settings for several bulbs. The setting I was referring to was where the photographer was within 6 to 20 feet from the subject.
In a way. If you have enough light you can work with the lens stopped-down to an aperture so that a subject within a certain near-to-far range will be in acceptable focus, depending upon what is acceptable to you.[...]Also, I'm wondering, and forgive my ignorance about this, is there such a thing as an "auto focusing" setting where you just leave it "there" (whatever that is) and just go about framing and shooting and not worry about focusing? Is this how they used it back in the day or did they still focused?
