The narrow DoF allows the user to focus were he or she wants the emphasis, AF focus points would make that decision and wouldn't take account of artistic parameters. I agree about the new cameras not making the fast lenses obsolete but they reduce the need unless you want the limited DOF. At that point Hi ISO can become a nuisance as in sunny conditions 1/8000 is still not fast enough to expose correctly at ISO 200 and f1.2.

Ah yes , contributions ,.. li`ll problem there , for tho` it`s nice to shoot 500 pics on one film , the folder system is a real pita , I spend several hours finding a pic in one folder , looked in another folder , then could n`t find the first pic., something t` do with me forgetting t` name folders , folders in camera and in LR 3 and in photodesk , I need to organise things , one way or another , so far it`s a real headache

Vic, you need to keyword your images as then you can just search by keywords across all your images.

Most of my clients have agreed with a filenaming system so I can quickly retrieve selected images for use in artwork. But one customer had refused to adopt a simple system. He seriously wanted me to name his images like this... Stainless steel-p325-for-cauliflower-florets-tomatoes-and-lettuce.jpg I avoided doing it. But it presented another problem as after the camera has been round the 10,000 a few times ...telling me he wants DSC3013 means I have to ask...which year?  I have to say I struggle with doing the necessary' housekeeping ' like naming and filing ....I find it a bit boring.

I have a very simple and effective file structure. Easy to maintain and very easy to find particular images. I don't allow Lightroom to ingest my images so I can always access the files, I put edits from Photoshop in an edits folder within the original folder.

I am guilty of not keeping my files as sorted as they should be. The one thing I have found over the years is that unless it is a system I figure out for myself and fully understand the logic or ill logic of, I will never ever be consistent in filing my photos. :-(

Well mine was derived from a slightly complex formula which I think Doug brought to our attention which was a number derived from the date, unless you put the date yy-mm-dd it won't sort chronologically, I find it fairly easy to read it backwards, but found deciphering Doug's code confusing, so that is why I adopted my method. I have a fair idea when things happened, so I just have to go to the appropriate year and scroll down to find the event. On the other hand if I want all my motorcycle photo's or all the pictures with water in them I use a keyword. In my botanic library I have all the images named with the botanic name so I can find all of a particular species. I am about a month into keywording now and probably need to spend another couple of weeks before I feel I have reasonable consistency. Is it worth it? Probably not but if I can't find a particular image, there is no point in having it, nor having taken the image in the first place. So, while it isn't worth it, it has to be done. Bit like washing up, it's one of those waste of time chores that has to be done.

I much prefer the editing in Lightroom 4, but the cataloging didn't change much. Main reasons for upgrade would be new features such as books and the new mapping capabilities.
