tom0511 Posted May 25, 2007 Share #21 Posted May 25, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) "Small sensors have larger perceived DOF" comes from thinking in terms of the effective focal length, not the actual length - e.g., on the Digilux 2 we compared the 28mm FOV to a 28mm (actual) lens, due to equal FOV, even though it actually is a 7mm lens, with the DOF that any 7mm lens would get...... For me perceived focal length is all I am interested in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollisterimages Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share #22 Posted May 25, 2007 Thanks for all the comments. when I have done more testing I will post the results! Just for clarification, most of my photograpy is landscape where I require sharp focus from a point of foreground interest which may only be a couple of meters away through to the horizon. Depth of field is critical to this tyoe of photography which is why this is such an important issue to me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
