Thanks for all you input John tis appreciated
Pentax K7 and K5 and several black tubey things with magnifying glass in that twist around and move in and out - to be honest I am not sure exactly what I have. Will list the proper names one day..

Just to tack on the end, I found this page to quite useful in understanding F-Stops - link

Some useful info in there.

I have never really used DoF tables, but I have used the markings on the lens (if the lens has them). Most often that involves putting infinity at the mark for the current aperture so as to maximise the depth of field.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I found this lot as I was looking for an answer to the same (original) question; Now that it's been so eloquently and deeply explained,I have decided to bin my camera and take up brain surgery instead; It will probably be easier (for me) to understand!!

All the gear & no idea.
