When to use it#
At f/11, a 200 mm lens on APS-C is a natural choice for landscapes and architecture where front-to-back sharpness matters. Focused at 3 m you get 9.2 cm of sharp zone; for maximum front-to-back sharpness focus at 182 m and everything from 91.0 m to infinity will be acceptably sharp.
