Choosing A Lens.

In my experience, using a smaller aperture (higher F-stop number) Produces a deeper depth of field. I like to focus on my main subject and have the rest in a blur. I use this technique for portrait and still life. For technical and documentation I will use a larger F-number for a larger depth of field.

My old Minolta X-700 35mm SLR, has served me for years.
I have a 50mm, 28-70mm zoom, and a 400mm Soligor telefoto.
But I use my HP digital more than any thing else.
