What began as a general discussion about DOF has evolved into B&W work flow and biases for maximizing sharpness. With all due respect to those who have acquired nuanced knowledge of how to get an ultimate print, perhaps we could contain ourselves and start a new thread when we have run the train off the track. It is also unfortunate that there has been no discussion or at least referrals/links about/to related issues to the original thread (i.e. hyperfocal focusing and using movements to reduce stopping down to F64).
