DIY DOF Adapter
A depth-of-field adapter (often shortened to DOF adapter) is used to achieve shallow depth of field on a video camera whose sensor size is not adequate to achieve it natively. A DOF adapter could theoretically be used on a multitude of platforms, although it is most useful on prosumer digital camcorders where high resolution is a capability but the sensor size is still small enough to elicit use of the adapter. The term 35mm adapter is common, since most designs use a focusing screen the size of a 35mm film frame (24x36 mm) and interface with lenses designed for 35mm cameras.
