• at high f-numbers it's going to be harder to get things in focus

    This does not make any sense.
    Your 450D will stop down the aperture just before the picture is taken, so it doesn't matter if you (or the camera) sets f1.8 or f22
    (we're talking about autofocus lenses, right? The finder does not get darker, as you change aperture, right?)

    I discovered this when trying to take photographs through a chain link fence in bright sunshine. Looked great through the viewfinder, no fence evident- operate shutter, fence!

    A moment of confusion followed.

  • fence!

    Yea, this happens to me on the rare occasions I don't shoot with a SLR but a rangefinder and am shooting through a fence
