        Does Canon still put DOF scales on its lenses?  If not, this
        techno-workaround may have some validity. However, personally
        I would much prefer to establish DOF myself so I can compensate
        for circle of confusion size depending on expected print size.

        I have no trouble obtaining desired DOF w/ my m42 Takumar lenses
        and have developed a "sense" as to what extent I must stop down
        for given focal lengths. And probably much easier & faster than
        having to aim & focus twice. Not to mention in non-static situations!

        Why complicate something so elementary to photography w/ techno
        "solutions" - is Canon a proponent of the "dumbing down conspiracy"?
