Re: Honestly, I find it almost useless

Hi,

FWIW, something that I have observed is that the EVF distance scale on the XT1 is more accurate with primes than it is with the 18-55, though I haven't checked all my primes - it may vary from lens to lens.

Your process all sounds very feasible - I use something similar but make up a little table of hyper-focal distances to work from without electronics.  (I can't run any current apps on my rather old i-phone and I'm too old-fashioned to upgrade it while it's still working well.)

Cheers, Rod
