Many thanks to both you and Matthew! I really hadn't understood about the flat-plane focus, and I appreciate the mini-lesson. I should do some experiments to get more of an intuitive understanding of what's going on. For the above, do you only do that with a tripod, or do you also do it with handheld shooting? -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
