: I have noticed that most of my zooms lack a hyperfocal
: scale on the barrel (or anywhere else that I know of).

: I figured I would ask the wise and beneficent members
: of the list for work arounds.

: 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?


Hyperfocal settings are only useful in the wide angle and standard range.
Just apply something you would do with a fixed focal lens, like F11, 3m wih
the zoom at the 35mm setting, and F16, 5m at the 50mm setting.
