I noticed that this video has a very beautiful DOF, almost spot on. It is a video but should still be applicable to photography. So how is such precise and large Depth of field achieved? What kind of lend can be used on an SLR?

3Have you read the numerous depth of field examples on this site, for example How do I get adequate depth of field in macro photography? and What exactly determines depth of field?. If so, what about the subject do you still not understand? – Philip Kendall Apr 05 '17 at 14:08

1i don't see a large DOF in this video, it looks rather shallow, as is expected? – ths Apr 05 '17 at 15:26

1It has a great focus, but no depth of focus. Are you sure you understand the term? – Aganju Apr 07 '17 at 00:25

Calling depth of field "spot on" and "precise" doesn't make sense to me. I think you are confusing focus with depth of field. – osullic Apr 08 '17 at 23:01

I have to agree with others that the DOF is not very large on the video. Understand that the longer the telephoto focal length is, the shorter the DOF will be. A large lens opening will also reduce DOF. sot to increase DOF use a lens that tends toward normal or wide angle and a small (large number like f16) F stop. If using a telephoto lens so you don't have to get close, you may be able to use motion tracking focus to keep the subject in focus.
