My 250mm Fuji lens has the same depth of field on my 8x10 as > when I put it on a 4x5 - but then I usually get lost in the math somewhere > around here and have to rely on Henning to explain it... :-) You and me both ... but to continue with your example: It does have the same depth of field BUT to make an 8x10 you make a contact print from 8X10 and enlarge from 4x5. Those "out of focus" areas on the 8x10 aren't going to start showing up until they are pretty far gone. The same areas on the 4x5 will show up earlier (to our eyes) since it has been enlarged and they have been exaggerated. To the experts: Is that more or less (less in my case, I'm not that technical when it comes to calculations) the way it works? But but .. in the final run, we just want nice images. :) Daniel - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
