Leave a Review Simple DoF Calculator
Lacking continued development
Was a very good app, with both graphical and numeric feedback. Depiction of DoF is excellent. But lack of newer camera inclusion and silence from developers suggests moving on. A good implementation that’s not keeping up.Cyimri
Developer needs to update
The new cameras are not included. Its time to update.lljkdlksjdflkaj
Developer does not respond
This has been my go to app for DoF but I recently bought an APS-C camera and asked the developer to include it in supported brands some time ago. A reply, either way, would have resulted in 5 rather than 4 stars.mop1011
Very poor
I am an experienced award winning photographer and bought this app. I use a Nikon D 800. There are no instructions on use with this app , and little useable information. It’s a complete waste of $1.99.Maximus The great.
Great App
Simple to use and understand...a great help when trying to achieve maximum dofJab063
Canon
do not have the Canon EOS RP camera in the list. 😔Ginger PR
Straightforward
Easy to use and accurate. There are more complex ones out there, but they give the same answer, only to more decimal places (try setting your focus to 19.37 feet, I challenge you!). Definitely my go-to tool.Jim Mirick
Excellent app
I tried some other DoF apps but none compare to the slick interface and ease of use of this one. Well worth the couple bucks.zdfghjkloiu
Great App!
Very easy to use. Just what I was looking for. Thanks!Troublecat1
Superb
Tried a number of DoF calculators. Most suffer from inconvenient method to enter data: focal length, distance, f/stop; you have to erase current value, then use the keyboard to enter new values. So slow in practice. Many offer long lists of camera models to choose from; kinda nice but the DoF calulation mostly related to sensor size, not camera model. Likely you only need to do this once, though. Many cameras models use the same or equivilent sensor.
And lastly, the DoF formula is based on a specific value for the circle of confusion (CoC). (In fact when you pick a camera from the list, you are really selecting the CoC that will be used in the DoF calulation.) Many photographers prefer to choose a value that is somewhat smaller than commonly specified; this has the effect of suggesting a smaller f/stop and larger DoF.
Here's where this app shines: it uses scroll wheels to enter data. This makes it incredibly easy to fine tune the DoF values when making compositional changes to focal length using a zoom lens. And in addition to the common list of camera models, you can simply select the CoC you want to use. It also support two camera model (or CoC settings) if you have cameras with different sensors.
Whether you decide to use a Camera Model or select a CoC, this app is fast to use and easy to read DoF values. The fact that it's free is amazing!Show lessAnselFan
