Hi Sue,

You are missing one major point as far as depth of field goes. The greater the distance to the subject, the greater the d-o-f. If you photograph a bird with a 600mm lens and then again with the 80-400 with a 1.4X teleconverter and the bird is the same size in the frame the depth of field will be identical. Only the angle of view will be different .

The whole bird in Image #4 is in sharp focus because I was effectively a lot farther from the subject than I was in Image #3.

You did not, therefore, learn what you think that you learned …

with love, artie
