- Larger f-numbers (e.g., f/22) indicate a narrower aperture, allowing less light and creating a greater depth of field.
Profundidad de campo:
The depth of field scale on the lens can be used to estimate the range of acceptable sharpness at a given aperture and focus distance. Align the focus distance with the desired aperture markings on the scale to see the near and far limits of focus.
7. Mantenimiento y cuidado
Un mantenimiento adecuado garantiza la longevidad y el rendimiento óptimo de su lente.
Limpieza de la lente:
