nope. depth of field is a function of physical aperture.

what you describe is f/stop, which is used for exposure purposes, and
in some cases (usually movies), t/stops are used, which is actual light
transmission through the lens, not a simple ratio.


Are you claiming that focal length has no bearing on depth of field?


for the same subject size and same image quality (coc), no.

That's an interesting viewpoint.


not really. it's just math.

That is correct. For any given focal length, the smaller the aperature, the
greater the depth of field. That is why pinhole cameras focus from closeup
to infinity without a lens.

No matter what the focal length of the lense is, the further away the
focal plane is, the greater the depth of field will be for any aperature.

As an example, if one is taking a head and shoulders portrait with a
large aperature, it is quite likely that part of the subject will be out
of focus slighty. Moving back a few feet with the same lense and
aperature will result in a deeper depth of field, so that all of the
subject should be in focus. The drawback is that the image size will be
smaller, and thus require more enlargement to obtain the same size image,
with the resulting loss of resolution with the enlarged image.

For an ideal optical system, the depth of _focus_ (on the image side) is
a function only of wavelength and numerical aperture, i.e. the sine of
the half-angle of the cone defined by the rim rays (i.e. the illuminated
cone). That's where wave properties come in.

On the object side, the depth of _field_ equals the depth of focus
scaled by the square of the magnification. Magnification is of course
the ratio of the object distance to the image distance.

Aberrated optical systems degrade a bit more slowly because they're not
as good to begin with.
