This was walking along and taking a picture, everything automatic, ie. nothing set perfectly. Only one shot. Selective sharpening was not used. The sign was a few feet away and the mountain over a mile. I can easily check that, it is across the street. A Sinar on a tripod is easier to focus for a scene like this, it's got a DOF calculator as you know, but everything else about using a Sinar would have been harder. The pop-ups are like looking at a 75" wide print (assuming 100dpi monitor). How far away is your screen from your eye?
