[QUOTE="nickyr, post: 1570312, member: 40791"] yep it's FF Joe so 24m is wide enough i normally like to get a lot of foreground detail in my landscapes and i find focusing on infinity doesn't give enough sharpness tothe foreground i read about hyperfocal distance focusing and switched to that. essentially you focus at a distance determined by your focal length and aperture: eg at 24mm i like to shoot at f11 to prevent any diffraction and the HFD is just over 5 feet. this ensures everything from around 2.5 feet (half the HFD) to infinity is sharp old lenses with an aperture scale are great for this, but with modern lenses with no focus markings it can be a bit hit and miss!
