    I have a few virtual cameras with Cinemachine Post Processing components attached - for depth of field. When I blend between two cameras the DOF seems to disappear.

    Problem seems to be using different profiles on different cameras. If I use the same profile the DOF is preserved when blending between two cameras. But if one camera has a different profile the DOF crossfades during the transition and gets to zero in the middle.

    Yes, the math for blending DoF is such that it must first blend form profile A to the default, then from there to profile B. So you need to set a suitable DoF in a default profile that you attach to a global volume.
