Interesting that he says the way to optimize FB is to focus beginning at
the forefront, whereas with FS it wants focus in the middle. The video
Moose posted recently indicated that the first two shots in the stack are
ahead of the focus point. With a 15 shot set, this would not be in the
middle. I've been assuming that these first two shots are just for
"safety" in case of inexact focusing -- essentially throwaways. Based on
my assumptions, I seem to be getting acceptable results, so I am puzzled.
I am reasonably confident of locating the forefront of the area I want in
focus, but I'm a lot less confident about finding the middle. I guess I'll
just keep experimenting, but I'm inclined to stay with Moose's guy.
Thanks for posting.
