What exposure compensation should you give when your 80mm lens is racked
out 111 mm?
What depth of field can you expect at f/32?
And how long would it take you to work that out with your pencil and paper?
I know, about 10 seconds, but we're not all math geniuses.
Now, if only DoFcalc would do that. It's limited to specific focal lengths
and is only accurate to the centimetre :`-(
