At f11 you would then get a less than 2mm sized lens opening and a hyper focal distance of about 3.5 feet. Anything between around 2.5 feet and infinity would be in focus. This should seem to be adequate for most purposes. Any smaller lens opening would surely lead to defraction problems. In my experience it is difficult to get a _shallow_ DOF with a "consumer" digicam. I sure seem to do a lot of background blurring in my image editor.
