[QUOTE="hark, post: 447133, member: 13196"] I transitioned over from a 35mm SLR and made use of that aperture ring feature, and when you made use of something, it is difficult to substitute a different method. As was mentioned, you have 3 options: [LIST=1] [*]Use the [B]preview button[/B]. I find this method offers a view that is way too dark to effectively see what is and isn't in focus. [*]Use [B]Live View[/B] so you see what the image will look like. It can apply the DOF to the image where as looking through the viewfinder doesn't. The down side is it uses more battery power. [*]Use a [B]DOF calculator app[/B] for a smartphone or an ipod. You need to supply some of the info then it calculates the results. This yields similar info as the aperture ring, but you need to supply more of the info for calculating than when we used the aperture ring. [/LIST] Just like many things in life, times are changing and we need to keep up with those changes or get left behind. Unfortunately they no longer offer aperture rings on lenses. Perhaps it is less expensive to manufacture lenses without them, I don't know. But hopefully you can segue over to one of these alternate methods of calculating depth of field. [/QUOTE]
