Re: [KOML] Depth of Field Scale

Jim,
Thanks for the reply, but I seem to missing a step here.  (I do
have the lens shade pulled out, and see the scale on it.)  I set
the distance on the shade across from the diamond, then what are
the markers to correlate back to the lens shade scale?

Is it the f-stop on either side of the chosen f-stop?  If it is
that easy, I was looking for something way more complex, once
again displaying how dense I an be.

Thanks again,

Lloyd
