Here's a little hyperfocal math at work showing the you can trust them numbers.
Nothing like a little math to obfuscate things. I never did get the hyperfocal thing. We were lead to believe that everything between the marks was "in focus". In or out. Kinda digital. But when you turn the focusing ring what you see is definitely analogue. What is magical about those little marks? Well maybe it was the limitations of the media and equipment of the day. I think that "hyperfocal" is a carryover from the past that may not have much relevance with today's technology. The hyperfocal spread is shrinking as the technology improves to the point where it becomes meaningless. Maybe that's why the markings disappeared.
