Sonny -  I use hyperfocal focusing but I don't sit around 
calculating.  I just  match up the infinity mark with the aperture and 
I do it when I need to  focus quickly or the shot will go away.


Tina, I "use" it too, but it is in my head.  I pre-set the  distance to what 
looks like the range I'll be shooting, and while I compose, try  to pop it 
into critical focus.  That's with an M, similar with an R8.
 
With  Pentax, I use AF,  but the nice thing is that the AF  releases when I 
touch the focus to bring it to the spot I want.
