A 210 lens on a 4x5 has the same DOF as a 210 on a Leica when focused at the same distance. The difference is that if you want the same VIEWING FIELD, or image, then you tend to use a smaller FL lens to get your Minox neg to give the same image field as your 11x14 camera. The smaller FL lens gives more DOF than the larger. So your end result is that your Minox Neg, with the same image over its tiny negative has apparently more DOF than your 11x14 neg.
