## What is Halfway?

Halfway tells you where to focus so everything from the foreground to infinity is sharp.

Pick a lens, tap an aperture, and Halfway shows the hyperfocal distance in large type with the near limit underneath: focus at 25 ft and everything from 12 ft to infinity is sharp. Below that, one table shows every half-stop the lens offers, each with its own focus distance and near limit, on a scale that moves the way your focus ring does.

BUILT FOR THE X2D II
Halfway is made for the Hasselblad X2D II 100C and 15 XCD prime lenses, from the XCD 4/21 to the XCD 2,8/135. Pick up to four for the Focus page. It knows the sensor size and each lens's minimum focus distance, and it uses the same half-stop apertures the camera shows. When the hyperfocal distance is closer than a lens can focus, Halfway says so and shows what you get at minimum focus instead.

READY FOR IPHONE DUO
Open it and Halfway spreads across both panes: your lens, focus distance and standard on one side, every stop on the other. Folded, the whole app works on the cover screen.

CHOOSE YOUR STANDARD OF SHARP
• Print: the traditional standard, a print viewed from about its own diagonal (36.5 µm).
• Large: twice as strict, for big prints viewed up close (18.3 µm).
• Pixel: holds up at 100% on screen (7.5 µm, two pixels).
• Custom: set your own circle of confusion.

DIFFRACTION, FLAGGED
Stop down far enough and diffraction blur grows larger than your standard allows. Halfway marks those apertures in orange, so you know before you shoot.

WORKS ANYWHERE
No account, no ads, no tracking. Halfway itself never uses the network, so it works the same in Airplane Mode on a mountain as it does at home. Tips go through the App Store.

SUPPORT HALFWAY
Halfway is free. If it helps your photography, you can leave a tip from the Info screen. Nothing is locked.

ALSO
• Feet or metres
• Light and dark mode, and larger text sizes
• iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo, with a two-pane layout when unfolded
• The method and every formula, on the Info screen

Halfway is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Hasselblad.
