The physical DOF would still be the same dimension. What happens behind the lens, or on a print for that matter, may have some effect on how it is viewed, but to say the DOF itself would change with a change of sensor format is retarded.
if you think talking about how a picture actually looks is retarded, you\'re certainly entitled to that opinion. dof field isn\'t a real thing though, it is an arbitrary amount of blur that is viewed as acceptable. the actual focus plane is always infinitely thin. i certainly agree that DOF master is useless though.
No, I am saying that \'DOF Master\' is retarded, because the physical DOF does not change with sensor size. The sensor does not effect how a lens bends light. Of course the final image may look different with different sensors, but that is a pretty obvious statement that has no bearing on the original statement that I took issue with.
