H = 35²/(11×0.03) + 35 = 1225/0.33 + 35 = 3747mm = 3.7m. Sharp from 1.85m to infinity.

H = 50²/(8×0.02) + 50 = 2500/0.16 + 50 = 15675mm = 15.7m. Sharp from 7.8m to infinity.
The closest focus distance where everything from half that distance to infinity is acceptably sharp. At 35mm f/11 on full frame: hyperfocal is about 3.7m. Focus there and everything from 1.85m to infinity is sharp.
| Focal Length | f/8 | f/11 | f/16 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24mm (FF) | 2.4m | 1.7m | 1.2m |
| 35mm (FF) | 5.1m | 3.7m | 2.6m |
| 50mm (FF) | 10.4m | 7.6m | 5.2m |
| 85mm (FF) | 30.1m | 21.8m | 15.1m |
Set your lens to the hyperfocal distance using the focus ring markings or live view magnification. Use f/8-f/11 for best results. Do not use f/22 as diffraction reduces sharpness.
CoC is the largest blur spot that still looks sharp to the eye. It depends on sensor size and viewing conditions. Full frame: 0.03mm. APS-C: 0.02mm. Micro 4/3: 0.015mm. Smaller CoC = stricter sharpness criteria.
Yes. Smaller sensors have deeper DoF at equivalent fields of view because they use shorter focal lengths. A 50mm f/4 on full frame matches a 25mm f/4 on M4/3 for framing, but the M4/3 has 4× deeper DoF.
