I'm not going to be fair.
This guy doesn't deserve fair.
At the very least he should include a caveat that the f stop markings on
the distance scale are approximate and based on an acceptable CoC,
(circle of confusion), for 35mm film, which will lead to very different,
mostly Out of Focus results on APS-C and even more OOF on m4:3 sensor
cameras, so some modification of the settings is desirable, (say
stopping down an additional 1 1/2 stops for APS-C and 2 stops for 4/3
and m43 cameras).
There was that so hard? Now if I were writing for his audience, I'd
probably leave out any mention of CoC, except as a footnote, and
describe stopping up and down effects in a bit more detail
He also completely missed the difference between using hyperfocal
distance and zone focusing, which deserves an explanation and
examination based on the subject matter.
He manages to put so much fail into just a few short paragraphs that the
mind boggles. Yet, there is no excuse for it. If this were a newspaper
I could understand space constraints, but in a blog post a few well
written words of explanation don't take up enough space to worry about.
