Sharpness, bokeh, overall "look", would no doubt differ considerably, but that wasn't what was said to be the issue. I suppose it's possible that the DOF was actually fine, but other flaws lead karl to reject the approach; however, he was talking very specifically about DoF being the issue. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
