At f/22, setting the focus clickstop at 1 meter (there is no 'ft' scale on my copy from the UK) DOF is from 0.7M to infinity for acceptable focus. Wide open (f/4) DOF is from 2.5M to infinity in acceptable focus. Very nice little lens. Robert White in the UK has them about the least costly that I've seen. Carpe Luminem, Michael E. Berube
