I struggle to obtain foregound sharpness in my shots...am I just asking for too much depth of field for the lens I use (150mm)? Would I be better buying a WA 90mm..or would I just have the same problems...I try not to stop down further than f32 to avoid diffraction problems?
I use a Wista 45DX field camera (with 150mm Nikon), I am a total beginner to LF and would like some help on obtaining maximum depth of field. I take landscapes, therefore need everything sharp from as close to the camera as possible to infinity !
Am I correct in assuming that the hyperfocal distance is the exact point at which you must focus in order to obtain maximum depth of field for a given aperture ? If so, how do you know exactly what the distance is that you are focused on using LF lenses (as there is no indication on the lens barrel as in 35mm) ? Can I rely on the lens manufacturers calculations relating to hyperfocal distance, or are these inadequate ?
Thanks
