I agree about the depth of field. More and more I'm keen to getting more attentive to where I focus, the focal length and aperture, so that I achieve the DOF that I want.

A lot of times a photographer may think it's the lens that caused the softness in spots, when it's a depth of field issue. I see that a lot. Lately, I am trying to get closer to my subjects and use less focal length if I want everything in focus.

I can’t help myself, but the best combo for that sake was a lens with DoF scale written there and the split prism + microprism focusing screen for manual focusing.

Maybe I wouldn’t miss the autofocus, (except of movement pictures, of course.)
