Thank you Martin,

Unlike B.D., you are indeed a god.

John Collier

The captions under the two photographs read:

Taken with a 50mm lens at f/2

Taken with a 135mm lens at f/5.3

The descriptive text under that reads:

Depth of field is the same when two cameras are used side by side at lens
apertures of the same diameter (in this case 25mm), and the principle
subject is enlarged to the same size in both pictures.

If anyone would like the original word file which will enable you to read
the equations easier, let me know off list and I will email it to you.
Please bear in mind the file size is 1M.
