The thing I like about focus peaking is that, given sufficient depth in your
image, you can see where the peaking starts and ends. I find that, by centring
the subject within the peaked area, my results are identical to magnifying,
which takes more time and effort to do.
That seems to work over a wide range of apertures, and is my favourite
technique for super-thin DoF, like the 350/2.8. But it also works with the OM
500/8 Reflex, given enough light.
Of course, if your subject doesn't have a lot of depth, this technique doesn't
work well.
