Consider that 0.285 x 3 = .755, not 2.659. My Physics Professor in college actually did this with actual photographs and concluded that the DOF was the same as long as picture is shot from the same spot at the same f/ and the pictures are enlarged to same magnification.(i.e. 100mm blow up 3x of 300mm)
