Thanks. The link should be quite helpful.

I do wonder though why this isn't a 'camera function'. :-)

I'm probably just being silly, but a K20d costs (without complaint from me) more than my last two laptops combined.

I just don't see why there isn't a function to at least get the hyperfocal number displayed on that pretty LCD. And as to 'actual' sharpness range / DOF, I don't know if the camera can determine 'range' from the focus, on a 'modern' lenses it certainly has the f-stop and focal length.

Even an option to input the distance to subject (similar to entering focal length on a manual lens) and getting the DOF would be absolutly amazing.

It's not the top of my Pentax wishlist mind you... but it would be very helpful for some of us. :-)
