Nope. It's gonna vary from screen to screen and from viewfinder
to viewfinder.
Best guess by me, probably 2 stops or more before you can get a
really good idea.
The other uses of DOF (checking bokeh, flare and vignetting),
these are things best checked at the shooting aperture, so
having that lever is a good thing.
I can't judge DOF very accurately with it is all.
