Also, depth-of-field (zone of
focus range) is deeper with wide-angle lenses than it is with telephoto lenses at
the same aperture setting. Look at the photos of the model on Page 4 again where
they were shot at the maximum aperture of f/2.8 of the lenses and compared the depth-of-field
in the background from the 28mm to 300mm.
After that, compared the depth-of-field of each focal length now shot at the
aperture settings of f/5.6, closed down two stops from the maximum, from these photos
