We may be using the term "the same composition" with different meanings. When I sat "the same composition", I am referring to the relationship of the image elements to each other. If I move the camera, that relationship changes, and I no longer have the same composition! > but dun u think ur test is moot, since u did not move the camera? i mean, > u're changing only one variable, focal length, of course the DOF changes!

Of course I used an image editor -- but the visual effect is exactly the same as using an enlarger -- with fewer darkroom fumes :>) Now it is time to go out and take some pictures. - -- Clive http://clive.moss.net - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
