See: https://www.omnicalculator.com/other/hyperfocal-distance

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfocal_distance

But TL;DR: for distant landscapes on a wide field of view lens, you can shoot at F5.6 and everything is in focus. I even do this at F1.4 on my lowly aps-c camera.

Put more concretely, the hyperfocal distance for a 35mm f5.6 lens on a medium format camera is 5 meters. Everything in the distance can be in focus.

For portraits, you want background blur anyway.

And if you’re doing anything else on a medium format camera, you’re kind of insane, heh.
