like a rock and a chain around ones neck all day but when it comes to a lot
of stuff like the kind of stuff you do it?s a freeing experience. It's great
to be able to get your hands off your camera and pick any exposure from a
second to a minute to an hour and play around with filters and different
lenses and focus techniques and now worrying about holding your shot and re
setting it up and holding still.. Everything seems way easy when your camera
is frozen in space this new hand held deal is a crazy experiment which can
be more of a hindrance than a help to spontaneity.

FWIW, for my landscape work I find f/11 diffusion impacts my large wall
display prints. So, I use my "dual focus" approach at f/8 most often.
That is, I take one image focused fairly close, usually on a foreground
center of interest, and then I quickly go to the infinity stop (which I
calibrate carefully using the focusing Leica-M to Sony adapters).
Usually
these will stack well in PS. If the range is too much, I will sometimes
use a mid-point shot also, but the more shots, the more problems with
assembly because I usually work hand held. Also, to cover my inadvertent
movement/aim of the camera, I might also do a series of infinity shots to
be sure I'm covered.
