Lumariver Depth of Field

Wrong calculation for 8x10 film

This is one of the best depth of field calculators available and I tried a few of them! It also is the only DoF calculator for technical cameras used in landscape and architecture photography. All digital back and technical lens data is available, as well as medium small format data of course. I love it! Great work!

Do not buy I want my money back! It’s way out of date and can only go to f2.8......

The measurements are in meters only and the closest focus distance is two meters. Often for portraits my distance is less than that so the app is very limited for me. My fault for not taking the developer at his word, it’s for landscape work.

Awesome and useful for modern high-res digital sensors, flexible to configure to your sharpness priorities. Tilt calculations are sophisticated but clearly illustrated. Developer is a photographer and very responsive.

This app was obviously designed by a photographer who actually uses lens tilt movement in the field. It is set up to be flexible enough to use with a ground glass, live view or even blind shooting. Starting with the ability to calculate CoC in a variety of ways, and finishing with a brilliantly-versatile layout that gives you what you need, this app is quite useful while shooting. Perhaps a bit intimidating at first for those who are not comfortable with how the Scheimpflug principle works. But it can help with that too, since playing around with the sliders shows clearly what changing tilt angle and focus distance does. The flexibility in calculating CoC allows you to configure this to your needs, which ultimately means you can trust the results. There is a nice attention to details, like always displaying the hyperfocal distance at the bottom.
