"Ok. Now that I know the number, how do I set that Hyperfocal
Distance on my lens?"
The
short answer is: you don't. Modern lenses don't have room in their
barrels for the set of markings required, specially super-wide
angle zooms. So it is best to estimate the distance, focus
there and lock it. As long as your are approximately there, you'll
get great results. That is how all of the samples in these pages
were accomplished.
