You mean the DOF will be the same for a 25 and 300mm lens at same shooting 
position, aperture and subject distance? It is hard to believe.

I will be convinced if he stands *at the same point* and shoots with
the 25mm and 300mm lenses and a crop of the former to match target
sizes shows DOF different than the latter. But I've actually done that
to satisfy my own curiosity, and the DOF was identical.

SUMMARY: if you move back and forth, it isn't the focal length that's
changing DOF, it's the perspective.

I'm still willing to be convinced, but you'll have to come up with
something better than Ctein's article. :-)
