Btw this foto have a nice depth of field. It's because the film no? This is not the case with digital. DOF is a function of the negative or digital sensor size, lens aperture and focal length. The larger the sensor or negative, the lower the f number and the longer the focal length, the shallower the DOF. This one is at 150mm, f4 on a 6cm x 6cm negative (which would be a huge digital sensor costing £20,000) and can resolve to the equivalent of a 50 megapixel digital camera. Therefore it is easier to get nice shallow DOF (bokeh) on a medium format camera with a mild telephoto and lower f stop.
