    Re: DOF, f-values & sharpness

    If you're using an optical viewfinder camera DOF tables are handy. If, however, you're using a camera where you focus and compose directly on the ground glass forget the tables and just use your eyes (with a loupe if necessary) to determine if something is in focus or not. Don't make it more complicated that it needs to be.
