I have a Swaro SLC 8x42 and a Zeiss Terra 8x25 and found the DOF of the 8x42 way better. Is that because of the larger diameter (42 vs 25) or is it just because the quality of the optics of the SLC is better?
Can I say, the larger the diameter the deeper the DOF? Or doesn't the lens diameter affect that? Is for example the DOF of the CL 8x25 or Victory 8x25 simular? Or better because the optics are better?
The DOF of my NL 10x32 is also quiet shallow, but I understand 8 power is better regarding this. Or is the DOF of the NL 10x42 bigger because the lens diameter is larger?
Just wonder what the correlation is.
