<< I have just been testing out the Kodak 14n and very pleased with what I see in general terms but although sharpness is as I expect the apparent depth of field seems a lot less than with film for the equivalent aperture? Is this all part and parcel of digital photography or am I losing the plot? >> Craig,
Have you checked this on comparable prints, or are you relying on looking at the VDU at, perhaps, 100% magnification? Depth of field is premised on the fact that a small amount of blur will pass unnoticed on the print. Conversely depth of field is decreased if you increase the magnification. Another possible issue, which we rarely discuss, is inaccurate focus; but this will produce a very asymmetric distribution of sharpness in the image. This is likely to be a greater problem for those of us with smaller sensors, because of the depth of focus is reduced by the need for greater magnification for the same print size.
