Re: Larger DOF with larger sensors (not a typo)

Just a note, don't think the Circle of Confusion is affected by the angle, it's just an arbitrary level of focus acceptance (and confusion) that folks have decided to use. In Fig 17 the CoC is constant but then cone angle is quite different, and thus the DoF is much different.

The circle of confusion is the blur circle created by the cone of light. The wider the angle of the cone, the larger the circle of confusion at any given distance from the focal plane.
