Dear patrons of the forum, I am sure it is quite a recurrent question but after reading too much theory I got a littlbe bit confused on this matter. In the book "Understanding Exposure" the author mentions that for landscape photos you should use f/22 in order to have sufficient DOF so that the whole landscape is in focus.
However now I have discovered that using f/22 will render photos not tack sharp because at that aperture you start to loose sharpness and the sharpest apertures are usually couple stops down from wide open.
So the questions is what aperture to use to render landscapes sharp and n focus then? What apertures do you usually use for taking photos of lets say building like churches or museums? And how exactly do you know what aperture do you need to render subject both sharp and in focus?
Thank you for all your help and answers!
