Hey guys, I've a Q about hyperfocal distancing that is frying my brain a little.
I shoot my evening shots flash assisted. Using the 16-35mm lens I set the aperture to F8, adjust the ISO and flash power to suit and set the lens manually at 1.5m. Simple stuf.
Generally everything is in focus front and back for dance floor shots. Which suits me fine. However, I would like a longer focal length with the same functionality.
Is there a difference between how wide a lens is and its hyperfocal distance? For example, is a 135L lens different from a 35-300mm lens at 135mm?
I'd like more reach around the 50-85mm mark and sometimes it's a little too dark for my 85mm to acquire focus. The other way is to stop the aperture down further but that taxes the flashes more.
Thanks!
