## Caption

Legendary cinematographer Peter James ACS ASC explains the "harp test" (also known as a nail chart). It is a classic method for checking lens accuracy and depth of field.

It’s a reminder of how technical precision, storytelling, and creative choices intersect in cinematography, and how lens imperfections can even be used intentionally for effect.
