Klaus mentioned the use of hyperfocal distance in the recent UWA reviews. I never use hyperfocal distance anymore myself (only tried to use that when I first started to use first DSLR). SInce then I have gone back to focussing on the main subject again, or the furthest away element in land/city-scapes that I want to have detail in.



The "Merklinger" method gives better results than hyper focal distance, which maybe should be treated as a relic from the past...

Actually I'm never really using the HFD according to the formula. This doesn't make much sense anyway because field curvature spoils the game here. I'm merely using it as "a message" here that AF sucks with ultra-wides.

I could, of course, elaborate on the details but this would take longer than the review ... and as such it would miss the point.
