My manual is in Russian but it has good photo illustrations.
Depth of field is:
2.8 5.5 m to inf
4    3.9 m to inf
5.6 2.9 m to inf
8    2    m to inf
11  1.5 m to inf
16  1    m to inf

Filter instl. illustration shows a tool to remove the filter, not included, I use
my knife.
My suggestion is to practice with one of the filters you'll never use until you
get it right.
The only filter I use is a skylight which I had to make..
When I scan a panorama neg I have to slide the film in the holder between scans.
The swing lens eliminates barrel distortion so stitching several negs together is
easy.
Have fun . . . . . .   Gene
