is the hyperfocal DOF scale for a zoom placed in 28mm the same for a 28mm fixed prime lens? My electronic DOF scale is not showing correctly on my panasonic S5. F11 at 28mm shows a DOF that is much smaller than my prime lens. Why? submitted by /u/Infinity–

Focal length and dof? I’ve heard everyone say the longer the focal length, the smaller the dof, but does this statement take focal distance into account? I can totally understand it if the focal distance is the same, since with a wide angle lens, anything more than a kilometer away is basically on the same plane to the lens(sense of depth gets lost at far away), so f…

A question on DoF So, I just bought a sigma 18-50 2.8. It has pretty shallow DoF. So i was wondering, if I am taking pictures of cars or buildings, is it going to always make the part that’s farther away blurry? How do I get everything in focus with same lens? submitted by /u/pirateskul82

Full-Frame DOF Advantage? I’m not sure how to word this question, but here it goes: Does full frame have a benefit of keeping more in focus with a higher iso? As in does shooting at F8 on full frame keep more in focus with less noise than F5.6 on crop sensor does? (I don’t know the DOF equivalent aperture) I ask in terms of natural lighting. I understand in a fixed, stud…

DoF tips beginner Beginner film photographer. I shoot a canon ae 1 with a 50mm 1.4 prime and have been struggling to find situations where I can crank down the aperture. I’m shooting BW iso 400 film and outside, anything beyond f5.6 seems underexposed. But from my understanding with a 50mm, you need around f11 and downwards to starting get a proper deep DoF. Any…
