Subject: Sputnik - optimum focus distance

Hi Everyone.

I'm starting to go through my test slides I've done with the Sputnik to work out
the most effective way to work in a hostile environment of clubs or band
shoots.

I'll need some sort of LED on the back to see the film window but also
wondering about not attempting focus but have a set hyperfocal distance to
work with.

Seems to be pointless to focus past 20 feet as there's nothing 3D there.

Open to suggestions.

There have been many discussions here in the past regarding
DOF tables for Sputniks. Using your Sputnik as a fixed (or
zone) focused camera is not far-fetched or unusual at all.
