When to use it#
At f/11, a 35 mm lens on full frame is a natural choice for landscapes and architecture where front-to-back sharpness matters. Focused at 3 m you get 13.2 m of sharp zone; for maximum front-to-back sharpness focus at 3.75 m and everything from 1.87 m to infinity will be acceptably sharp.

Frequently asked questions#
What is the depth of field of a 35mm lens at f/11?
On full frame, focused at 3 m, it is 13.2 m; at 1 m it is 55.8 cm.
What is the hyperfocal distance for 35mm f/11?
3.75 m (12.3 ft) on full frame. Everything from 1.87 m to infinity is acceptably sharp.
