Pocket DOF table / calculator

[mike_p2]

Can anybody suggest a nice pocket reference for figuring out depth of

field for a variety of lenses from about 17 mm to 400 or 800 mm. I'm

interested in 35 mm format only.

If you don't mind putting together your own reference page, you can download the free f/calc program from <a href="http://www.tangentsoft.net"> http://www.tangentsoft.net </a> then put together your own chart customized to your lenses and usage.

 

<p>I just started playing with the calculator and haven't quite figured it all out. I believe the "field of view" will not be correct if you are using a digital SLR. I'm not sure if anything else changes. I hope someone will pipe in and let us know how to adjust the readings to for our 1.6x difference.

I am interested in some DOF Java application for Nokia 6230 (and 10D) cos have no Pocket PC. Anybody knows? My question is serious, no joke.

I build a MS Excel add-in for DOF calculation some time ago, anyone intrested can send me an email.

 

Melissa, the crop factor makes that unsharpness is enlarged more, therefore you need to use a smaller circle of confusion diameter.

I've got the following installed on my Dell Axim which I take EVERYWHWERE:

 

<a href="http://www.pocketpccity.com/software/pocketpc/Expose-2000-11-7-ce-pocketpc.html" >Expose 1.0</a>

<a href="http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/pocket_pc.shtml" >DOF 1.0</a>

 

Both take a little bit of figuring out but work great.

<a href="http://cameraassistant.sourceforge.net/">Photo Assistant </a> are very nice. <br>

You can chance :

* format, <br>

* lens, <br>

* filter, <br>

* circle of confusion, <br>

It calculate :

* Depth of field calculator. <br>

* Inverse Depth of field calculator. (Calculate what aperture you need for a given depth/distance & lens) <br>

* Field of view calculator. <br>

* Variants of the above, calculate distance to object or lens for a given field of view. <br>

* Database of TV cameras, Motion picture cameras and Still photography cameras. <br>

More than that it's free like in freespeech and freebeer !<br>
