Digital BW, The Print

Greg,

How do you get adequate DOF in a 35mm digital camera at f/8 w/o the use of movements?  As a LF shooter, I get into the near/far relationships of DOF and find that f/8 does not come close to giving me what I need.

Movement? If the wind is blowing, I am at home sleeping.

  Mike, why f/16 for such a long exposure? Why not 
  something more sensible like f/8 at 1 second or so?  IMHO 
  and based on previous experience, movement at such long 
  exposures outweighs any depth of field gain. I have been 
  using ISO 400 on my D1X and have been quite satisfied 
  with the results. To add a bit of grain like traditional IR film, 
  I've even used ISO 1600/3200.
