[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 476545, member: 12496"] There is a little more. Sensor size (and its resulting necessary magnification to print size) determines Circle of Confusion (the size of the out of focus point source... a fuzziness factor), which certainly is a factor of depth of field... how large that circle can be magnified in the print before it is a visible problem. The first thing a DOF calculator asks is sensor size. Sensor size and focal length is all that determines angle of view, simple trig. The lens just has to project a circle large enough to cover the sensor. I think you are just saying the wrong lens can be a limiting factor. Don't use the wrong lens. :) [/QUOTE]
