True. I reagerd to DOF, the *ist D is an APS (size) camera. I mean, there are 35mm (full frame) digital cameras out there as well. They have the same DOF as any previously made 35 mm kamera. Conclusion: The differences lie elswhere. Different formats have different DOF. Digital or film - doesn't influence DOF at all. End of story. All the best Jens
