could be off by as much as a third of a stop. In an old Modern
Photography essay by Keppler, I remember reading that the fast
shutter speeds, i.e. those above 1/1000 sec. could be off by as much as
2/3 stops. If there is that muc
Do you really think your shutter and aperture
are that accurate?
Here's a simple test. Shoot a frame with flash
and set the SS and half of sync speed. (1/250 if
sync is 1/125). Then see what the % error is on
the print. It'll be off at least 10%, unless you're

Yes, I just discovered about a week ago that I can get
½ apertures on my Spotmatic. There is a slight click
about halfway between the actual markings. And when I
take the lens off and look at the aperture size, it is
halfway between the two.

Hate to say that but those aren't limited edition lenses, but Limited

The detents on your aperture ring, as well as on
the shutter speed dial of those who have one, is
only a guide. If you need a setting in between
it's available to use. The camera will automatically
use one, and is kind enough to let you know what
it's doing.

Any serious landscape photgrapghy is done on tripod
so amount of light kind of doesn't matter
if you want maximum depth of feild, yes, always shoot at your smallest
aperature, but don't focus at infinity!
Use your depth of field scales and put infinity near the outer edge of the
scale!

Hi Tanya:
You will no doubt have received many other replies to this one, but my two
cents worth is this:
There is no hard and fast rule for _any_ given photographic situation.
Don't forget that, with many landscapes, everything is so far away that
aperture setting is not crucial to depth of f
You said "...with a 50mm f1.4, you close the lens down to f22 and focus it to the
hyperfocal distance, which in this case is about 3 meters. This will render everything
from 1.5 meters to infinity in focus."
Focusing at about 3 meters (6 ft) will do this?

Excellent explanation Bob. However with the Speed graphic it
was f16 @ 1/100 sec, #5 flashbulb and be there. Usually with

shots. Soup two minutes in Dekol, squeegee and pop into th

Hi fairy,
Unless you're grab shooting, you would want to use a tripod for serious
landscape photography, so light usually wouldn't be an issue in the
choice of aperture. Some landscape photographers espouse using as small
an aperture as possible to maximize depth of field. In fact, several of

When you focus at infinity, everything is not
necessarily in focus. If you shot at say f1.4 (extreme
example I know) on a tree 500m away, the tree that is
5m away is going to be out of focus. The DOF rules
still apply I believe.
I tend to use f16 or smaller for my landscapes. I like
a bit of DOF.
Hi Tanya,
sounds like your friend's friend's imagination has been hamstrung.
However, you will find it worthwhile to understand about hyperfocal
distance. The best way would probably be to find a decent book which
explains it, as it is really one of those subjects that is best

Hey everyone, just a quick question before hubby kicks me off the
