When to use it#
At f/11, a 35 mm lens on Micro Four Thirds is a natural choice for landscapes and architecture where front-to-back sharpness matters. Focused at 3 m you get 2.85 m of sharp zone; for maximum front-to-back sharpness focus at 7.46 m and everything from 3.73 m to infinity will be acceptably sharp.
