  • Simple, easy, it just works.

    I looked at quite a few more complex DoF calculators. Besides costing two bucks and up, it looked like they didn't work as well as this one. Pros: Once you select your camera and lens in this app, everything you need is on one screen--no toggling back and forth to change settings and then flipping to another screen to see the results. Cons: It doesn't seem to be able to show a result less than .1 feet. When you're doing close-up or macro work, that's not enough precision. One tenth of a foot implies that you've got 1.2" of DoF to work with, when in reality, you may only have a tiny fraction of an inch. But overall, it's an absolute bargain at the price (Free!).

    Suggestions for future versions: 1) On the lens specification pages, allow entry of the closest focus distance, and use it as the minimum 2) For results less than a foot, show the result in feet and inches, like 8.5" instead of .7' 3) As noted above, show results below .1 feet.

  • misleading screenshots

    Terrible. The app does not even look like the screenshots shown in the app store. There is no "near+far" button, no "Lens" screen, and no "Settings" screen. The info button doesn't even respond half the time -- very frustrating. This app isn't free if you value your wasted time. Deleted.
  • Nothing fancy...but works great!

    Just the basics, but that is all I need. And it's free!
  • It works but don't know how to use

    I haven't found any problems but it would be nice how to use either with a tutorial or a instruction page for those that have never used this before. I am one of them
  • Works Great! Very Useful App for Photographers

    Thanks for putting together this free app. I'm surprised at all the low ratings. The app works fine. If you want to change the type of camera, hit the "i" located on the lower right corner.
  • Great little app!

    Kudos to you. This saves me so much time calculating everything. It's simple, and keeps only to the parts necessary. Again, GREAT APP!
  • Cool

    Good basic app for checking dof.
  • nice idea

    Nice idea, but it doesn't seem to work - the sliders rarely actually move (especially on the hyperfocal screen, the one people would likely use most often). Also, there's a screen shot on the web site that alludes that one can pick which camera is to be used - but nope, can't access it. Some form of instruction (any) might be nice as well.
