Good article. Helped me understand the concept of choosing the smallest diffraction-limited apertures. Of course I don’t really know what those are for my two Canon lenses, so for now I assume I should stop down to no smaller than f/16. Or maybe not even that small?! f/11?

For more on hyperfocal distance, folks might be interested in this article. And no doubt many others found with The Google.

Hyperfocal distance shooting can be great but the problem is that quite a few more modern lenses no longer have the required distance scale on the lenses therefore doing hyperfocal shooting with one of these lenses is very difficult.

The distance scales are available by focal length in book tables. As a "rule of thumb" items 1/3 in front of and 2/3s behind your point of focus should be sharp.
