Focus at the hyperfocal distance to keep everything from half that distance to infinity sharp.

The math behind it

H = focal^2 / (aperture x circle of confusion) + focal. The circle of confusion is about 0.03 mm for full frame.

Worked Example

35 mm at f/8 gives a hyperfocal distance of about 5.1 m.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why focus there?

It maximises depth of field for landscapes.
