davephdv 0 Posted August 13, 2002 The 19 mm lens widens the lens and intuitively should increase the depth of field. As far as using manual focus with the 19mm lens. I found that at the widest setting of the camera lens the manual focus seems accurate. but when I tried to zoom to the longest lens length to photograph a lobster it was completely out of focus. I saw where someone was selling a chart of hyperfocal Dx for the 5000. There was a charge for it so I defered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yahsemtough 0 Posted August 30, 2002 I had the protype A5000 housing and shot in auto focus. The lag took a like bit to gauge but once gauged was not a problem. We were shooting mainly sharks and dolphins so I had lots of practice to get it right. Was tough watching Eric, Jim and Dave firing those D60's for multiple frames but I was happy with my results. Not that the manual focus is not a good option, I preferred being closer if possible than four feet so you could just adjust to a closer manual setting . I may give it a try next time also. I have a photo on digideep.com that is photo of the week for week 35 if you want to see one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
