The relationship is nothing of the sort. Magnification is related to lens focal length vs sensor dimensions. Your analogy equates to film grain deciding macro magnification. > Now could someone please explain me, what is that "added DOF of digital > cameras"? DOF is depth-of-field IOW the depth of acceptable focus, digital cameras most often afford a greater DOF than their 35mm counterparts for the same magnification ration due to their smaller sensor size and their correspondingly shorter lens focal lengths.
