Yes, and that is why for an equivalent focal lenght you get more DOF with the *ist than with film. Because a 50mm lens has more DOF than a 75mm lens. A. On 20 Jul 2004, at 02:36, Don Sanderson wrote: Tanya, that 50mm lens is still a 50mm, not a 75. You're just using a piece out of the middle

Really? It's a function of the focal length of the lens (for a given aperture). Smaller format = shorter focal length normal lens = greater depth of field. Digital cameras (and APS cameras) are smaller format than 35mm. Regards, Bob... From: Jens Bladt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Not true. The
