DOF Mike?, you have an automatic DOF calculator in the TLR and BTW it is a good exercise for the mind to use the DOF scale if the model that your are using don't have it, I love the TLR viewfinder, I love the TLR perspective in my photos that I obtain from the viewfinder, what do you think about Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Robert Doisneau, Diane Arbus, Robert Cappa, Fritz Henle, to mention some of the TLR shooters known in USA, are they among the best shooters?
