I was curious about a remark made in one of the second-hand photography magazines that Members generously make available on Club nights.
The photographer was taking studio portraits with a Nikon D750 set at 1/200 at f/8 for the whole shoot (focal length not specified), and he said:
"The full-frame D750 is great for depth-of-field effects in portraits. It's the closest I can get to medium-format from an SLR."
Now I realise that switching a given lens from a full-frame camera to a medium format one will change the effective focal length and depth of field, just as it would if switching from an APS-C camera to full-frame. However, the photographer here seems to be implying that the camera itself is somehow influencing the 'depth-of-field effects' quite separately from the lens. How might this be?
