No, what I am confused about is if DOF preview shuts down the aperture
to "show" the DOF, that should only -increase- DOF, right? So why
don't you see a very shallow DOF all the other times when the lens is
wide open.
I appreciate the responses thus far, but I don't know if I'm convinced
that it is due to small size - after all given your eye is so close to
the image it really is larger relatively than you see when you look at
a standard print.
