Yes it does, Glen. The DOF will be GREATER for the same angle of view. Try to download the DOF Master at: http://www.dofmaster.com
Jens Bladt Arkitekt MAA http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Glen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 7. august 2005 22:14 Til: [email protected] Emne: Depth of Field with Digital SLRs Does having a sensor which is smaller than a full 35mm frame have an effect on the perceived depth of field? It seems that I have to stop down the lens on *istDS farther than I would have expected to get the depth of field I would like to have. I'm using the Pentax 18-55mm "kit" lens. Maybe it's just the lens being somewhat less sharp than what I'm used to, and stopping down the lens is more of a requirement in general? (I was mostly accustomed to using Nikkor prime lenses in the past, but I have also used a few 3rd-party zooms on occasion.) So am I imagining things, or do you really have to stop down farther with the *istDS to attain a particular depth of field? (Maybe I'm just not familiar enough with this lens yet?) thanks, Glen
