[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 619943, member: 6277"] Look into Hyperfocal distance. I shot with a 14mm lens on my D750 and I would set the focus before I started shooting in the building I was working in and then never touched the focus after that. Now your 28mm lens is a lot longer that my 14mm especially since it is on a DX body. In looking at the DX and a 24mm lens if you set the lens to F11 and focus at 9 feet then everything from 4.5 feet to infinity will be in focus. Now at F5.6 you would have to focus at 17.5 feet and then everything from 8.6 feet to infinity would be in focus. so it all depends on what you are shooting and the light levels. I used a iPhone app to get the numbers. If is called "Digital Dof" handy little tool [/QUOTE]
