I've longed wished that I can shoot by just turning my aperture ring and the distance ring. I am using a Voigtlander R3A and a 40mm f/1.4 I read up on hyperfocal distance focusing but it's quite confusing.. What do it mean by hyperfocal distance focusing? Why does it always have to be multiplied by two? I read that if you adjust the "3 metre" on your distance ring to correspond to your index on the left hand side, Both the left hand side and right hand side of the index ring will show a "F8"
What does it mean?
I tried to turn the distance ring marking "3 metres" to the icon "F11" on the index logo on the left but the "F11" index logo on the right doesn't tally with the infinity sign.. Sigh, is there a more easier way to learn this?
The bottom image with the picture of a man shooting trees shows that the
Near Limit of acceptable sharpness is 2.08m
Total depth of field is 3.32m
and far limit on acceptable of sharpness is 5.4m
Can this distances be estimated on your lens?
