Re: Some shots with E-M1+40-150 & D810+70-200

This has probably been answered here somewhere before but I am new... I was wondering why does this actually happen, as in why does a lens at the equivalent focal length and same aperture produce a deeper dof on a smaller sensor? I shot with the Nikkor at 200mm f2.8 and the Zuiko at 100mm at f2.8 so I would get the same field of view. Is that what causes the dof difference? If I shot the Nikkor at 100mm and the Zuiko at 100mm, would I then get a different field of view but the same dof? I have not tried that. It is just interesting to me... Thanks.
