[Leica] Depth of Field / Crop Factor was Doomed Leica MP 0.58X

[cummer at netvigator.com (Howard Cummer)]

Hi Guys,
The depth of field doesn't change - the lens mechanics remain the same 
- it is just the field of view which is cropped by the smaller area of 
the sensor. Henning Wulff may want to weigh in here as he sometimes 
does (hello Henning!)
