Trigger Happy,

Then Im really sad to say yes, your instructors DO NOT have the slightest idea of what they're talking about. Virtually redundant in the sense that you can shoot and check the DOF, if insufficient DOF, stop down more and shoot again?? If that is the case, they should have just said NO METERING system is needed ever again, just go with the Sunny 16 rule, check your histogram and shoot again if needed...

And pls let me know your camera model, it must be great technology to have the DOF preview built into the shutter release.....a little contradictory technology there: the focusing sensors need all the light the lens can allow to AF and yet half-pressing the button will activate DOF preview which cuts down light....phew....

i'm kinda curious who is the instructor... :devil:

On a DSLR nowadays never think of f22 or f32.....at most f16 for me.....problem with diffraction.

Forgot about the time needed for eyes to adjust... important to know. :thumbsup:

Tankm,

Im sure you're talking about f/22 or f/32. First-timers should be pre-warned that the viewfinder will be much darker and time should be allowed to let your vision get use to the change before attempting to see the changes in DOF.
