Longer lenses provide the same depth of field as short focal length lenses.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Longer lenses (higher focal lengths) have a shallower depth of field compared to shorter lenses (lower focal lengths) when the aperture and distance to the subject are the same. This is due to the narrower angle of view and increased magnification of the subject with longer lenses. Therefore, they do not provide the same depth of field as short focal length lenses.
