And no. :) If you crop a picture shot with a wide angle lens and then enlarge it so it is comparable to a print made through a longer lens, the DOF will be the same in both prints. The actual lens doesn't affect DOF. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. All in one Place. http://shopping.yahoo.com/
