Photographer's
calculator (Thanks to Brian Eyley) This allows photographers
to auto-calculate hyperfocal distances, depth of field, field of view etc. for
different lenses, distances and film formats. These are very complicated
calculations and are normally impossible "in the field". The Psion Series
5/Nokia Series 80 version enables very fast calculations with ease. |
