I imagine this has been around for some time, but have never heard it mentioned here and had never heard of this method whatsoever before until this morning. It is remarkably interesting.

There's an awesome card creator for use of this method here that is quite fantastic. I'm certainly going to have to print one and try it out with a couple of my scale focus folders. Very cool.

Cool! A variant of this card could be created for manage flash power and aperture as a function of distance to the subject.

Ooooh - quite right you are! Very intuitive little system.

I like that. Like most good ideas it is obvious when you think about it!
