No more milky waterfalls ??? Just stop the lens down.
Chris,
I will look for my 400mm dof tables and draw up a chart so we can all understand your situation as it relates to your post 1.

PS : Decent engraved dof scales are something I miss on modern lenses. My old AIs stuff is good for that.

Don, I presumed that Chris's query about f2.8 and taking pancakes flat on related the limited DOF associated with large apertures- hyperfocal distance is therefore useful when needing large apertures and maximum DOF.
My remark about milky waterfalls was just a friendly jab at Chris (Chris, if you read this, then well done for not rising to the bait).
