LensTutorial

LensTutorial is about learning to use photographic lenses the easy way. The app wraps all lens calculations into one package and allows you to quickly see them in action.

Learning photography can be easy and we encourage you to use our app to facilitate this process.

LensTutorial allows to simulate photographic lens usage and display effects of lens controls manipulation. The app combines both visual and interactive way of representing information with classic DOF calculator functionality. It allows to quickly estimate and visualize the following parameters on one screen:
Angle of view
Total depth of field
Near range of depth
Far range of depth
35-mm equivalent of focal length
Subject magnification

All modern cameras of various makers supported.

Nice way to visualize lens choice
Thomasio2010

This is a nice app to visualize the way that focal length relates to distance to subject, depth of field and width of scene. If the focal lengths could be set to snap to the user's preferences (example: 70mm, 85mm, etc.) I would give this app a perfect score. Well done, nice interactive and useful photographic aid.


Out of focus

Would really like to use this program however, I cannot read the screen as the numbers are small with little contrast.


Wonderful F.O.V. & D.O.F. Simulator
Leica-Fan

I really like this app. It has helped me visualize the Depth of Field I would get in certain situations with various lenses and simarily help judge the Field of View various lenses would offer at various distances. While the program does have some issues handling the simulation of extreme focal lengths and the longest distance settings, too, I find them to be minor stumbling points. In fact, I don't easily see a way around the obstacles presented in simulating extreme settings on small displays. I highly reccomend the app. Sincerely Richard in Michigan


Works for me
HanksterMS

Great graphical visualization of both depth of field & angle of view (compensated for sensor size). I would suggest that the background pattern/color be optional or white - the gray makes the type hard to read.


Educational tool.
undereefbay

Great for the beginner or someone who just made the move to a DSLR or one of those great 4/3 jobbers.


AVOID IF YOU HAVE A FUJI!!!Agfa, Minox, and Practica, but no Fuji?!?
Sh00shy

Not sure why Fuji got omitte when there are so many small makers included, but as a dedicated Fuji owner, I'm surprised by the snub, and will be waving others away until it gets fixed


Interface not great
Ncexped.com

Use regular inertia dials for the interface. The simulated camera controls are difficult to read. Also no one thinks in decimal feet, change the calculation to show feet/inches. People will REALLY appreciate that.


Needs an update

Old app. Doesn't have GH-4 camera or 12-35 lens.
