Since the plane of focus is by definition the film plane, groundglass, sensor plane, etc...what does this statement have to do with anything meaningful? Are you saying the concept of hyperfocal focus is nonsense? >> Bill, The image is out there in front of the lens. You focus on some plane in that image. You don't focus behind the lens because what happens behind the lens depends on what's in front of it. You don't focus on the film plane because all that's there is a piece of film or a sensor. Hold your fire up to the subject. I shoot the subject. I don't know what you shoot. Photography isn't diagrams. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
