Originally posted by Clavius Unless you stand - say - 4 meters away from your subject, then the DOF becomes 45cm, which has many usefull occasions.
Absolutely, and you could achieve the same effect on APS-C by altering the working distance slightly. That was my point. The single, virtually only argument I see for a FF requirement in any of these threads is shallow DOF.
If a person knowing nothing about photography were to read the FF threads, and ONLY the FF threads, he would be convinced that the single biggest factor that makes a photo a good one is getting as close to zero DOF as possible.
Nesster's reason in the post above is probably the
actual reason behind most everybody's desire for FF; he's just one of the few who will admit it.
