My hyper-confused self and the f-stop

It’s all good. Sometimes you have to kick your brain in circles before it clicks. Now don’t go thinking too hard about depth of field. If it looks sharp on the groundglass it’ll be sharp on film.

Only at the magnification that you are using when you check the gg. Make prints beyond that magnification then you will have less apparent DOF at normal viewing distance.

Oh gracious wow. Speaking of kicking yourself geez.

AHAH!!! I finally get it!! It's the size changing that had me throwed. Man that took too long.

Thanks so much for all y'all's help! I apologize again for any and all cardiac issue this thread has caused. Hopefully I won't try to think past the practical anymore.

Glad to have helped!

Now go out and make some photos
