DOF App for Nokia S60 Phones

     I thought that this might be a useful tool for photographers.  A DoF calculator.  I sometimes wonder how many stops to go down to get something that is behind the subject shooting to be in focus.  Like the other day, I was taking a photo of my wife and daughter but only my daughter, sitting just in front of my wife, was in focus, whilst the wife was a bit out of focus.  Had I stopped down the aperture by one more stop, I would have gotten both of them in focus.  This is the tool that will let you calculate your DoF.

You can download it here

Note that there are two versions, one metric and the other imperial.  Choose one that suits your needs.

Also, I don't think there is a list for which phones are compatible.  However, the author says that it works with S60 phones.  Mine is a Nokia E90, and it works great.
