There is a brochure in German language for this camera, it has interesting graphics about the lens performance and DOF table: http://www.lecuit.lu/brochures/Db%20Rflex%204,0FT_DE.pdf All the best Carlos Bajonett IV, Entfernung ¡Ä bis 1,50 m. __________________________________________________ Preguntá.
