The metric and inch figures in this table are not necessarily exact equivalents; each set of figures does, however,
indicate the correct distances for any setting of the corresponding focusing scale. Therefore, always use the
distances in centimetres only with the focusing scale settings in metres and the inch measurements with focusing
scale settings in feet. (For exact conversions, see page 62.)
The depth of field when working at these short distances is obviously rather limited. The tables on pages 47-49 for
the N lenses give an indication of the depth of field under these conditions.
