## What is Tack Sharp 2.0?

Tack Sharp helps photographers with rapid determination of camera settings for the sharpest focus range of multiple subjects. Tack Sharp allows photographers to explore different camera settings before shooting, to decide which settings to use for optimal focus.

A swipe gesture reveals user settings which customize the display and ensure accuracy for different camera types , including settings for: preferred units (meters or feet); six different camera sensor formats which each provides a recommended "circle of confusion"; the ability to enter a specific "circle of confusion" for other sensor sizes or personal preferences; and specification of the number of f/stops and stop increments to be used, all ensuring this tool will work effectively for any photographer in a wide range of situations, cameras, and lenses, as part of their photographic process. 

Tack Sharp setting changes are communicated to a connected App Watch instantly.

Apple Watch support allows photographers the same focusing optimization tool on their wrist and avoids the struggle of handling an iPhone and a camera together. The interface is a direct parallel to the iPhone interface, offering intuitive ease of use.

Tack Sharp uses standard equations for Depth of Field, so there is no mystery to the internal workings and users can place their full confidence in the calculations. What makes Tack Sharp different is the simple user interface and approach, to be used as a practical tool for any level of photographer, without any fuss or complexity.

### 5/5 — Flawless and helpful

*2017-06-10, version 1.2*

I discovered Tack Sharp 1.0 three years ago and found it extremely helpful. Lenses used to have focal range on them, but they typically don't anymore and Tack Sharp filled that helpful function. Now, TS 2.0 has an improved interface and the incredible added bonus of the included iWatch app -- I cannot stress enough how wonderful this function is! Us photogs have a lot of equipment already, but few (if any?) are almost hands-free. When I switch lenses or am in an unusual situation, the one-handed ease with which I can dial in for my focal range right on my wrist is priceless to me. I love my iWatch in general, but using Tack Sharp on it pays for it, in my mind.

I do a lot of portrait work with an 85mm prime and when I get close, I sometimes have only an inch or two of focal range -- I don't have to guess and nail it without trial-and-error, especially when working with squirming kids. It's fast too, doesn't feel like there's information loading, but rather is already there for access.

It's a great tool, definitely worth the couple dollars purchase price.
