Or
you get for yourself and your friends The
MAX DOF Tool, a white T-shirt with the hyperfocal
table printed upside-down for easy consultation while wearing
it. Available in all sizes, male and female and for kids
too; for 35mm and digital, in both meters and feet.
Oh,
and in Nikon
yellow too.
Most
practical and a good conversation piece. |

"Ok. Now that I know the number, how do I set that Hyperfocal
Distance on my lens?"
The
short answer is: you don't. Modern lenses don't have room in their
barrels for the set of markings required, specially super-wide
angle zooms. So it is best to estimate the distance and focus
there. As long as your are approximately there, you'll get great
results. That is how all of the samples in these pages were accomplished.
