Nice capture - I think it eloquently shows the internal emotional torture of a person who has sold what she believes in for a few miserable dollars.....

Sad really.

If the standard DOF definition (size of the circle of confusion) is good enough then the hyperfocal distance would be the best distance to choose as "infinity-1", as it is the minimal distance that also keeps infinity "sharp".
D'oh! Of course that's it. As soon as I read it I realised how simple the answer was (given I have been doing all the maths already). And I am already calculating the hyperfocal distance (with the CoC model), so that's an easy job to use it as the limit.

Thank you sir!

No worries, but due credit to GUB who provided the answer, he just didn't mention the technical term.

Gub gets the plaudits for the gubmod f/4 bizzo...
I normally run screaming from blown hightlights but the bold mono setting is on the quickdial no.1
hides a multitude of noise sin too
This marvelous little 110 smc 50 is quite nice to focus using the markings on the lens barrel, first having confirmed them with test shots.
seems to like politicians
I see they are going backish to the Q body, even has a second eye for jap cute

Yeah it is pretty clear now that the asian market is so enormous that western tastes don't count.

A quick count of the relative population of Asian counties verses western ones would give you some guidance there - all I can say is there is a long term trend in that direction, so it is probably best to get used to it

Yeah it makes you chuckle really -- we as kiwis are used to be treated as an afterthought as far as marketing goes --- wonder how the US citizens are going to handle being 2nd fiddle.
