when i shoot pix for publication, and i do a great
deal of it.
i think in terms of a foot of depth of field.
a full 12 inches at least.
if you don't understand this concept...get a
book and do some reading.
it is a must.

adjust your light to the f22 half second.

Nikon lens has f 16 as the highest available f stop and I had thought that t=

was sufficient for appropriate depth of field, but I noticed that my 105 mm=20
lens has both f 22 and f 32 ....... I would guess that there are some 50 mm=20
