Apeture Bracketing Possible?

I was out shooting today and as usual, DOF raised many questions in my mind. Then a thought popped into my head... there should totally be apeture bracketing in cameras. That'd be so awesome! Has it ever been done before? Is it available in any present day cameras?

Sounds like a function that only a few people would use, to me.

More useful (to me ) than WB bracketing?
If we get it, I'd like to be able to combine it with ISO, like fix the shutter speed (influenced by focal length, IS and personal steadiness etc.), then + and - the aperture and automatically make up for it by - and + the ISO - like for birding in not great light conditions.... I sometimes do this manually anyway, or a version of it.

I'd use it for landscapes. Would be great for waterfalls, for instance.

For landscapes, though, I'd love auto-hyperfocal, that is, the camera tells the lens to focus at distance X depending on the lens and aperture setting.

I'd use it a lot for macro photography.

There is exposure bracketing with aperture in Tv mode...

Plus... if you're shooting landscapes you could turn the wheel and compensate

was just going to say that.
I tested the bracketing based on a conversation with Dwight... and played with all the possibilities...

tested it on manual.. it adjusted the shutter speed,
aperature prio.. it did shutter speed again,
shutter prio.. it adjusted the aperature.

too easy.

I thought about pointing that out, but DoF bracketing should hold the exposure constant, which AEB/Tv won't. Still DoF bracketing is, as Doc also says, easily achieved with the wheel in P, Av, or Tv.

yes... this is true.. but if I set it to bracket at +- 2 stops, and shoot RAW... then I have +- 2 stops for each shot.. which would allow me to play a little bit with them. (if my initial exposure was off.. then this would be a waste of time... )

and like the man says... there is also the manual way of doing things...

A-DEP sounds like an alternative plan for making sure you have stuff in focus...

but apart from that.. auto bracketing in any form is a new thing for me... always did it manually before. (along with focus, exposure, etc...)
