Description
Photographers know that objects in an image at different distances are not in equally sharp focus. This is due to the optical parameters of the imaging system.
Depth of Field Estimator helps you to interactively estimate this distance range for your purposes.
MAIN FEATURES
- Obtain the focus distribution for popular sensor formats interactively
- Read quickly the hyperfocal distance for given optical parameters
- Calculate circle of confusion based on final image dimensions or use a custom value
- Estimate which parameters could be adjusted for your desired depth of field
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the usage or want to give feedback.
What’s New
Version 1.1.1
Improvements:
- Choose between three different calculation modes for circle of confusion (default, smart, and custom)
- Parameters like sensor size and focal length are saved between app launches
If you like the app, I would be very happy about a rating or review. This will help to support the further development. Thanks a lot!
Ratings and Reviews
Perfect for „old skool“
I‘m using this with a 35mm Leica 0 Serie reissue. No bells and whistles at all, built using the original plans for the first 25 (or 31) 36x24 „full frame“ cameras ever built. It’s a real pain (or delicious pleasure) to use this camera.
Non-standard f-stops? Not a problem with this app.
No depth of field gauge on the lens? No worries from now on.
It takes forever to set this camera up for a photo anyway. Plug the lens, wind 1/2 way, measure the light, guess or measure the subject distance, set focus, consider depth of field required, choose f-stop, validate exposure time, convert exposure time to gap in mm for shutter curtain, set gap, wind film remaining 1/2 way, unplug lens, frame subject in gunsight, release shutter, plug lens.
Having an easy visual representation of the depth of field, makes this process much more likely to yield an acceptable photograph, especially since the camera is held away from the face to frame the subject.
Oskar Barnack would be very impressed, and would immediately think, this is incredible, could we not incorporate this kind of technology in the camera itself?
Ironic.
Great app
Really easy to use and understand. Great app where critical focus is required for front to back sharpness
