Paul,
What I'm saying is that I do see the correct depth of field in
viewfinder when using DOF preview. I can tell what's in focus and what's
not. Plus, I can see it change when I change apertures. What I see is what I
get on the final print. That's what DOF preview is for, to show you what's
in focus.
That is why I said your camera must be broken if you see otherwise.
