How to check out Minox 8x11 camera's depth of field without a Minox ?

<h3> CHECK OUT MINOX 8X11 CAMERA DOF WITHOUT A MINOX </H3>

<P> You can use a 35mm SLR with 50mm lens to check out the depth of field of all Minox 8x11 cameras.

<p> For Minox A/B/BL/C/LX/TLX/CLX/AX : Set SLR camera aperture at f12.6, focus the camera at the object, press down the DOF preview button. You will see the depth of filed of these cameras.

<p> For Minox EC/ECX, Focus the SLR at 2 meter (6 feet ), set aperture at F22, press down the DOF preview button, you will see exactly how a EC/ECX picture looks.

<p> For Minox MX, set SLR's aperture at F18, foucs SLR at object, press down DOF preivew.

Martin, seems like the ECX equivalent on a 35mm with 50mm lens would

be more like f17, yes? 50 divided by 15 = 3-1/3. 3-1/3 stops up

from f5.6 would be 1/3 stop beyond f16. If it was f22, that would be

4 full stops and would be comparing the ECX to a 60mm lens on a 35mm

camera.

Tony, depth of field is proportional to the square of focal length, and inversely on the aperture; hence when when focal length shrinks, the aperture has to stop down more.

Actually you can take any 35mm camera equiped with a 50mm standard lens,

set the aperture at F22, focus at 2 meter, take a picture of any thing, take it to 1 hr lab, make a 4x6 print. That will be very much alike a picture from EC/ECX
