Shallow depth of field is of limited use and vastly overrated. I was shooting mostly with medium format TLR camera and there was always a problem getting greater dof, not shallower.
Greater dof is actually a big plus for many shooting styles and subjects.
- abirkill 13y agoIsn't that somewhat sweeping? Sure, for some types of photography, getting a shallow depth of field is rarely a concern, but in other disciplines, a shallow depth of field is highly desirable. Many wedding and portrait photographers have at least experimented with the Brenizer Method[1], the sole purpose of which is to create an image with a shallower depth of field than is otherwise possible, and replicate the appearance of large-format photography.
