I don\'t believe that.


You shouldn\'t believe it. It isn\'t true. What we describe as DOF is a basic optical phenomenon and not dependent on the brand or model of lens.

These sorts of completely untested claims seem to be traceable back to a vague but hopeful notion that \"if I buy the most expensive and/or most venerable brand name thing, it will be better in all possible ways than the less expensive/venerable thing.\"

Belief in that sort of stuff does not seem to me to be an indicator of photographic sophistication.
