   Maybe some of you accept the "hyperfocal distance" as gospel, but if 
you are tired of fuzzy backgrounds, perhaps you should go to 
<"http//fox.nsin.ca/hmmerk/"> and review Harold Merklinger's "depth of 
field revisited", it just might give you a new perspective,( a pun was 
intended) Respectfully submitted,
