Orlin, Are you sure? The difference, 45.5 - 45.46 = 0.04mm = 0.00157" (I think better in inches) would mean the film is pretty darned thin. I just measured...
Tim, the numbers I have were from: http://www.markerink.org/WJM/HTML/mounts.htm I agree that the film thickness is greater than .0015"... perhaps the distance...

DOF is a function of magnification and relative aperture( f-stop). focal length is not a factor. Short macro lenses dont have more depth of field as longer...
(In reply) - To foreshorten a lengthly technical discussion, which then can be linked even to crop-factor issues with DSLR's and "relative" focal lengths ... ...
RE the aforementioned: In movies these kinds of perspective (and resulting DOF changes) can be used by the filmmaker - one extreme example is the "dolly zoom",...
