as soon as you consider DOF equivalency (sorry for mentioning that term) the FF lenses to compare to are getting a bit smaller and most probably a lot cheaper. so i take your price comparison with a grain of salt.

You're not going to ever get "equivalency". At pretty much any size sensor, there is a larger sensor and there is a smaller sensor. The larger sensor will tend to have less DOF, will tend to handle a lack of photons more graciously, will tend to have a heavier body, and will tend to have larger lenses. The smaller sensor will tend to have more DOF, will tend to handle a lack of photons less graciously, will tend to have a lighter body, and will tend to have smaller lenses.

If thinner DOF is your target, you shouldn't compromise and get m43 or APSC or 35mm; you should get a Pentax 845 or a Leica S (etc.)

Everyone's gotta have their priorities ...
