And when i worked with a specific view camera lens
it never occurred to me
to ask if the DOF changed
when I changed the back
from 8x10 to 5x7 or 4x5 or 6 cm x 9 cm.

DOF does not change
with a format change.
DOF changes only with
a change of f:stop or
with a change in distance
between the lens and the plane of focus.
