Re: Clarification - Depth of Field and Landscapes

Ansel Adams may have been a founding member of f.64, but as I found out 
when I started making landscape images a few years ago, stopping down 
is far from your best option with today's lenses. 

See:

In fact, if you shoot with a DSLR (I think you use a D70), depending on 
the lens and your sensor, f8 to f11 is probably your best bet. Check 
out the test results.
