Excellent tool with a superb UI. Highly recommended.

This app does an amazing job of quickly producing a visual representation of most shooting scenarios. However, the height of objects along the field of view isn't precisely known and as the lens length increases it gets harder to understand how high the focal area is. Shooting a portrait at a length of 135mm on the app shows an in focus working distance compared to a tree instead of a person. But if we knew the height of the focal plane we could compare to our subject better. That would help!

Easy to use and understand. I'm new to Android, and the dev quickly responded to my query on how to access the settings/help guide (try holding down Home on your phone if you're a recent iPhone user and get stuck looking for settings.)

Hi. The app is good. One single think. I'm using a Samsung note 5 wich running on android but for some reason I cant find how to get in to the setings. I found it once but I wasn't able to do it second time. Can you help me with that please?

Absolutely the best app I have ever seen. I can now show a student in 2 seconds a scenario that most people never understand. Thank you for creating and sharing it with the rest of us.

About this app

Lens•Lab is a virtual lens simulation tool for photographers of all skill levels. It graphically illustrates how depth of field and field of view relate to your SLR camera and lenses.

Professionals will like how quick and easy it is to get depth of field calculations.

Semi-pro photographers will enjoy configuring "what-if?" scenarios for various lenses.

Photography beginners will find it to be a great learning tool by exploring the interplay of aperture, focal length, and focal distance in real time.

Lens•Lab is more than a great depth of field calculator, it's a lens simulator that can help you explore, see, and intuitively understand how depth of field works with your camera and lenses.

Lens•Lab Features:

Advanced visual depiction of depth of field with real-time controls:
• The background scales from 10 centimeters to 100 meters interactively
• Out-of-focus areas are represented as blurred / dimmed in real-time
• Distance labels, angle of view, and other information updates as you touch

Easily control aperture, focal length, and focal distance with sliders or touch:
• Aperture (from ƒ/1 to ƒ/32)
• Focal Length (configurable minimum and maximum)
• Focal Distance (from 10cm to 100m)

Information overlays are independently configurable:
• Hyperfocal Distance
• Far Depth of Field
• Focal Distance
• Near Depth of Field
• Total Depth of Field
• Vertical Angle of View
• Distance Scale

Sensor size is configurable for:
• Full Frame
• APS-H
• DX
• APS-C
• Four Thirds

Additionally, there are controls for distance units (metric or imperial) and display of Full Frame Equivalent focal length (for cameras with sensors smaller than full frame.)

Included is a usage guide that explains all features of the application as well as depth of field in photography.

This app works with all Android devices including phones and tablets running Android 2.2 or newer.

Note: to access the settings menu on newer devices, press and hold the app switching button.
