Bob, I don't like to start an insulting match, but first of all get your
facts straight.
3meters is closer to 10ft than 6ft. If you have the Super Program manual
open on page 48, then you'll realize that my comment is taken out of it with
the addition of the word Hyperfocal by me.
I'm no photographic expert (I'll give those honours to people like Bill Robb
and Alin Flaider), but I hate smartasses that respond to a reply that was
meant to help someone, with a remark like "What???".
And by the way, I hate hockey.
