Depth Of Field Calculator

This app is simple, precise and does everything it's supposed to.

I like the depth of field calculator and would give it five stars. However, the app developer’s site couldn’t be found when I was trying to ask about paying for but not receiving an add on program.

After getting the DoF app, I found out that it did not list my primary cameras - Hasselblad H5D-50, Hasselblad H6D-100 and Canon R5! Expecting the typical no-reply to a customer service inquiry, I was shocked and delighted to get an email WITHIN DAYS from Jim Chapple saying the cameras had been added. Wow! 😀 Thank you for top-notch customer service. And by the way, the app is fantastic, too! Knowing your DoF on portrait work, especially with medium format and telephoto lenses, is of paramount importance in creating sharper images.

Many apps, some costing substantially more, perform this function, however this app is berg fast and clear to use. It also displays the result in a manner that is clearly understandable.

I thought about running DOF charts for my new Nikon Z6 using Excel. Then I found this app. For $.99, I saved several hours of work (and got an easier-to-use product). The app is simple, intuitive, yields clear results and is a very handy tool to have no further away than your phone when you’re setting up a shot. Nice job.

This is my favorite iPhone photography related app. It eliminated the need for homemade cheat sheets with just a limited number of situations. I recommend it as a particularly instructive guide for those seeking a better understanding of depth of field effects of lens and camera settings.

Love this app. It’s simple to use. Only question I have is. I have a crop sensor camera so when I enter the focal length do I enter the lenses focal length or the 35 mm equivalent. For example. Fiji 10-24 I I am shooting at 10mm do I enter 10 or 15mm

Depth of field is vital to a picture's success, but largely overlooked by even the most expensive cameras. Autofocus will find something in the viewfinder that will be in focus, and with most cameras you can choose what point must me in focus. But getting that point in focus will only lead to disappointment if something else important is out of focus. Depth of Field Calculator allows you to specify your camera, and then to enter the distance to your point of interest (generally pretty easy to estimate closely enough), your f/stop aperture, and the focal length of your lens. Bingo, back comes the closest point that will be in focus and the furthest. Better yet, if you current settings don't produc a result you need (e.g., a foreground point in focus as well as the horizon), the inexpensive add-in Depth of Field Variants allows you to see how the results change with a tabular range of different distances, or apertures, or lens lengths. Your first few exercises may take a minute or so. But surprisingly soon you'll get a feel for things, and can zero in on the result you want very quickly. No more coming back from a far away vacation with that distant mountain range blurred in your favorite picture, or your wife's face in the foreground a blob.

If you want to use the single feature of choosing your camera then pay for this. Every other option is an in app purchase. You could just make the app cost what you assume each feature is worth so it’s actually useful. Wasted my money.
