Not to be too nitpicky but depth of field is a function of focal length and aperture size, the film itself is irrelevant. It's just as easy to achieve on digital, not as common on crop sensor sizes (because those introduce a focal length multiplier, thus you need a very light and wide open lens, like f/1.8) but a full frame sensor has the same depth of field as a 35mm film frame.
- enaaem 5y agoI understand that. My point is that most personal photos now are shot on phones, while in the past everyone shot full frame.
- Talanes 5y agoI'm in the "Everyone above 30" category, and we shot disposable, not full frame.
- loser777 5y agoI don't understand, disposables commonly used the 35mm film format, which is equivalent to full frame sensor size.
- Talanes 5y agoHuh, til. I had a little Crayola brand camera that fit APS cartridges as a kid, and I had just lived my whole life assuming disposables had a similar "not quite" size film inside. I also haven't actually seen any of those pictures in nearly a decade, because my family lost a storage unit at some point that apparently had all my childhood memorabilia in it. I'm probably remembering them worse than they were.
