DOF Calculator for an i-Phone

[Martin Aislabie]

I have been happily using an old DoF calculator on my I-Phone for several years.

However, I needed to upgrade my I-phone and hence IOS and the old DoF calculator now does not work.

Does anyone have a DoF calculator that is compatible with up to date IOS that they would recommend ?

Thanks

Martin

I have the app, Simple DoF. Honestly I don't use much but it works.

Among others, Simple DoF works on iOS 10 on my iPhone and iPad.

Is there a whiz bang computer program that will figure out swing and tilt for you as well?

Just as easy to use the Rodenstock DOF/Scheimpflug pocket calculator.

We never received any reports of them exploding or catching on fire!

Not sure I understand the problem: If you do not see it (whatever "it" is) on the GG it will not be on the film.

When I first came to LF, I was working in a clinical setting doing cardiac treadmill stress testing and imaging with radio-isotopes. Lots of computer driven equipment. One attraction of LF photography for me has always been the act of manipulating the camera controls to achieve my inner vision orf a scene. LF was a high-touch counter point to my high-tech workplace.

What compels one to jack around with a smart phone instead of ducking under the dark cloth and manipulating the camera?

Now I recognize that there are many ways for one's creative vision to proceed from conceptualizing an image, through image capture (what I used to call "exposure") through post processing to a farmable print.

Cheers to all

Largely I agree, Drew - but there is at least one use case where such a scale is helpful: if you're using a range-finder, coupled or otherwise - to set the focus without the aid of a screen.

But even then, a cross-referenced focal-length v iris chart (per lens) is all that's needed. A small printed card perhaps, stuck to the back of the camera?
