The inability to use the hyperfocal distance with zooms has always bothered me. I hope I'm wrong and there is a way of doing it, but I think it can't be done because as the focal length changes so does the in focus area.

I figured I would ask the wise and beneficent members

In other words, if you wanted to do a landscape with
infinty at the far end and 8 (or whatever the lens can
do) for the near end at f16, how would you manage
without the scale?

Thanks!
