Recently picked up a couple of old film cameras and a few lenses to get into photography but wanted to ask what is probably a dumb question before I waste all my film spools.
One of my lenses is a macro lens which will probably end up being my most used lens. My cameras both have a split prism and micro prism focusing rings. When I line up a shot and focus the split prism, everything in the inner circle is crystal clear, however all of the surrounding area in the view finder is blurry. Will my photo be in focus, or just the very centre part? I know there is a certain depth of field to the surroundings ect. But it does this when I line up to a flat object also?
Do I just click and trust that the entire object is now in focus?
