An IR or radio transmitter in the hotshoe is best, setting the camera to manual and choosing the flash synch speed and appropriate aperture.
If using the built in flash care need to be taken that any pre-flash is disabled, otherwise the flash will go off on the pre-flash and the shutter will fire after the event.

DOF is all sensor size related.
At normal distances we observe the not quite accurate but real world situation that we are familiar with.
At closer and closer distances that breaks down and the essential factor is magnification.
However, let's not go there again so soon, would someone like to link to the previous thread on the subject of DOF?

Most bags are hinged the wrong way. The hinge for the lid is next to the body, which means two hands are needed - one to keep the flap open, one to extract the equipment.
A few bags are hinged so the they open away from the body, thus allowing free access without obstruction.
Billingham are hinged the wrong way, but because the flap is thin canvas it doesn't matter - two leather clips and you're in and equipment can be removed instantly.
Hadley pro is my favourite Billingham bag, with an extra insert to allow the camera to be placed lens down and keep it cradled so the weight is not resting on the lens. This also means gravity helps keep dust and debris away from the sensor, rather than falling on it.

Classified Ads are just for the selling/buying process, as per the guidelines.
