Assume a distance of 10 feet from your focus point. Using 18mm focal length and aperture of f/5.6, everything from around 5 feet to infinity should be in focus.

You can calculate near and far distance using this site:

When I shoot groups I'm using a wide angle. Wide angle = great depth of field.

I never found focus problems when shooting groups, even if wide open. In case of doubt - close down the aperture a stop or two.

Good luck,
