Depth of Field and F-stops – PictureCorrect

Depth of Field and F-stops – PictureCorrect: "Depth of field (DOF for short) is usually associated with the aperture, which is often used interchangeably with the word f-stop.

On the older, traditional 35mm cameras, the settings on the outside of the lens that controlled this function were called f-stops. That’s why even though, technically, they are two different things, many writers use the words aperture and f-stop as if they were one and the same. It’s like calling the door knob a door. You do use one thing to affect the other, but they are NOT one and the same."
