It is not reduced DOF. DOF is the same when you have the same magnification scale even if you compare 28 mm and 200 mm (you have to come much closer with shorter lens to achieve the same picture in frame as in case of long optics). It is perspective in case of photos from DA 77 that makes out of focus elements bigger and optically more blurred than the ones from DA 70. If you would do the same photo maintaining magnification then 85 mm would enhance this effect and 200 mm would do it to even greater extent.
