How to use:
Pick a lens and aperture you want to use. Focus at distance given in chart to get all behind the object and half the focal distance in front to appear in focus.
For example, a 90 mm lens set at f16 when focused at 13 feet will have everything from 6.5 feet (half the focus distance) to infinity appear in focus.
