I tried punching this in on an online DoF calculator which has 1/4" sensors, but it only goes to 1200mm@F/45[gameboy], which is the equivalent of the 70mm@F/4[fullframe] end of this lens. Even then, focusing at something 40 ft away you have a 0.2 ft depth of field, so a background 10 ft behind your subject will be pure blur.
