Depth of Field

[Busted Knuckles]

I know I get boring on this.... Magic Lantern, Live view, focus peaking. Works like a charm. Just have to flip between liveview and viewfinder. Also focus peaking is displayed in image review on the new version of Magic Lantern if you would just rather take a pic to check focus. Set your image review to several seconds and you can confirm focus. There are a couple of different settings for focus peaking to display (bright dots around the stuff that is in focus) with colors and % of pixels in focus, etc.

The culprit IS the 24-70 version I.
This is my primary wedding lens, but have switched to the 17-40 for groups for this purpose.
There are just times that (since I have these on separate bodies) that I have to take a wide indoor shot with the 24-70
I wonder if this would be different with the 24-70 II.
Don't have any trouble with my 24mm 1.4.

I used to carry the charts but when I was using a 5D with a 50D this got too confusing and I found an app (simpeDOF) that works great.
I also tried to memorize the charts but they did not stick, or I could not recall them in the heat of the battle.

Why can we not have a DOF (not a preview) but a reading on the screen, as it should fit into an algorithm.


Or how about outside depth of field 'blinkies' like the overexposed setting.
Good discussion Thanks.

Hmmm
The thought of f stop bracketing just crossed my mind for large group shots.
Can't really read precise focus on the preview screen.

Does anyone know if the 20-70 II would be an improvement in this area over the 20-70 I

How is the updated (not red) auto focus points working of everyone indoors?

Thanks
