Hmmmm.... interesting, Don...
I certainly don't doubt your findings... although they would seem to defy the principals of physics and optics a bit.
How would you say the DoF compares to say a 2/3" camera or 16mmm? Were you using fairly long focal lengths which would demonstrate the shallower DoF.
I freely admit that I haven't used an EX yet... but I will be officially dumbfounded if I can see a DoF difference at normal-to-wider focal lengths. I keep an open mind, though.
And no, I wouldn't use a Letus either... but I love my Mini35 so much I practically sleep with the darn thing. When desired, I can get a DoF as shallow as one or two inches even with a 50mm or wider prime.
I will test drive the EX when I get a chance, though.
