Hi all,
I've a question about Hyperfocal distance as I'm seeing all sorts of cross talk involving actual focus, perceived focus and so on.
If shooting a scene with a lens at say, 35mm focal length on a full frame sensor (could be medium format 6x7, 35mm FF or 6x4.5) at F8 would the area of focus be greater if using the same lens on a smaller sensor and focusing at the same distance at F8?
The reason I ask is that I'm using a wide angle zoom and am considering a smaller sensor body so I can get more reach with the same setting and flash power without resorting to a longer lens with a narrower DOF and searching for a correct understandable answer is appearing problematic.
