" As a result, I get significantly sharper results for viewer use
by using the depth of field limits for one stop larger than my actual
exposure setting (i.e., for an exposure at f8, I use the depth of field
limits for f5.6, which is a more conservative range)."
I do this also quite often. It's a great strategy to get almost maximum
depth of field and at the same time guard against pushing the limits of the
system. When shooting with a Realist or similar camera, try to resist using
that rangefinder. Knowledgeable use of scale focusing is superior for much
stereo work IMO. I do most of my shooting these days with twin SLRs. The
viewfinder is used almost exclusively for framing the shot, not for focusing!
You're a wise man Oliver!
