[QUOTE="hark, post: 722593, member: 13196"] While I was out this afternoon, I decided to shoot wide open (with 1.4x teleconverter, that made my f-stop f/5.6). For this particular SLENDER subject, the DoF wasn't bad, and f/5.6 was fine. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]328485._xfImport[/ATTACH] Here is the same view shot at f/6.3.
