Description

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, its 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.• Added settings and help buttons

I have been jealous of iPhone users for this app for a year, so I was so glad to see it available for my Droid that I downloaded it the first day it was available. I have never seen a clearer way to demonstrate depth of field, and certainly never had access to a dynamic demonstration that I could use to determine the best f.stop setting for my camera when I'm out and about and actually using it. The interface is really intuitive, and the images that the developer used to illustrate what would be in focus at what focal length + f.stop really work for me. It's easy to use and helps me take better pictures. This is a must-have if you have an SLR! P.S. I am using this on the Droid 3 running 2.4.3

I'm an amateur photographer with 3 years experience using a dslr camera/lenses. This app really helped me learn how focal length, distance and aperture affect the depth of field. The interface is fluid and easy to understand. I recommend bringing a device with this app along when you shoot to get a feel for how it can help you compose shots. Also, the help section is a must read. The designer does a terrific job explaining the terminology and how the interplay of these variables affects the outcome of your shots.

Not good on a small screen

The DOF calculator can be found on any number of apps but the perspective simulation is very unique and it lets you estimate real life situations. Basically the app estimates the angle of view for the lens length you input, then puts lifesize objects on a distance scale to give you an idea of what youd be framing. At 11 feet, you see that a 45mm lens frames most of an adult body, and gives 1ft dof at f4 (or something like that). The problem is, at 6 feet I can only size up a bunch of cats and dogs, and at 30 feet I can only look at airplanes. I would LOVE it if there was a way to just look at that adult human at different distances. This way you could say "if i want to use a 50mm lens to frame a person's head and shoulders, I'd be about X ft away and need at least Y aperture."

Simulator works perfect but each time we exit the app it is resetting to default...

Works good on moto g

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.)
