some people would place the APS COC at 0.017 instead.

Subject: Re: Theory of Equivalency
From F Calc.
This little comparison chart takes into account the differing rule of
thumb Circle of Confusion needed for APS and 35mm assuming an equivalent
AOV for 18mm and 28mm. I generated this using fcalc, I could have done
the math myself but this was easier...
Distance (feet) 3.0
Aperture 2.8
APS 35mm
----- -----
Lens 18mm 28mm
COC .0199 .025
Dof near (feet) 2.778 2.599
Dof far (feet) 3.261 3.555
Total Dof(feet) .483 .9599
Looks like under these assumptions the DOF for APS with the equivalent
AOV is about double.
