Depth of Field: One of photography’s most misunderstood terms, people use it interchangeably for anything related to focus. For photographic purposes, depth of field is the area within an image that appears sharp. That shallow depth of field typical of images shot at large apertures with tele or macro lenses is often measures in inches (even fractions of an inch) from the near to far points of acceptably sharp focus. The sharp distances associated with the great depth of field typical of images made at small apertures with wide-angle lenses can be measured in miles. Don’t infer, however, that wide-angle lenses give greater depth of field than tele lenses.
