[QUOTE="hark, post: 592832, member: 13196"] Unless you use some type of app, it's really difficult to know the exact DOF. There are some general things to keep in mind: 1. Wide angle lenses tend to have a greater DOF when shot under the same circumstances as a telephoto lens. This is due to the fact that the diameter of apertures on wide angle lenses are smaller than telephoto lenses. [B]The larger the diameter of the aperture opening[/B] can yield a shallower DOF (again, the distance from you to the subject and from the subject to the background will factor into the equation). 2. The closer you are to your subject, the shallower DOF if you choose a wider aperture (and the distance between your subject and the background will yield different results). 3. The further your subject is from the background can affect DOF but it depends on the focal length and aperture you choose. There are so many variables to consider that it would be difficult to come up with a cheat sheet that covers a variety of focal lengths, apertures, and distance. [/QUOTE]
