Andre,
Good artice of DOF! Interesting read on how you shot the "El Captin". To me it makes a lot of sense on what you did apart from the second to last sentence the hyperfocal distance paragraph. You conclude: "Knowing that the focal length of my lens was at 24mm (Canon 24-85 USM Lens) I read the correct aperture setting from the chart. "
To my knowledge, the hyperfocal distance of a lens is dependant on the focal length, which I believe you imply as well.
But looking at your hyperfocal distance calculator I noticed that the focal length of a lens does not seem to be included in the calculations. Is something missing or have my thoughts gone off track?
Does focal length not come into play in
