[ken hon] "Full wide with the iris fully opened, it has an extremely wide DOF, maybe a meter or more at 2-3 meters."
Yep, that's about what I would suspect. Even a "full size" 2/3" sensor camera is probably not going to beat that by a whole
whole lot, especially at shorter focal lengths.
If one desires shallow DoFs at medium-to-wider focal lengths that's gonna require either 1) a lens converter, 2) a call to Kodak for 35mm stock, 3) ringing up Panavision to book a Genesis, or 4) getting in line and waiting for a RED.
Easiest of those choices is using a lens converter... at least that's what we usually do (although the call to Kodak still comes now and then).
