Hi Frank,
Years ago in FF days I did a lot of shooting at f16 focusing 1/3 of the way, as suggested above. However, I often did not find that approach satisfying because the foreground was not really sharp, meaning that we expect things close to us to be in sharper focus than distant objects. Nowadays, I always try to make the foreground sharp, relying on the depth of field to give a "natural" blurring in the distance. If everything needs to be sharp everywhere I do focus stacking. On m43 I have found that f4.5 gives pleanty of DOF for most purposes.
