Lens•Lab

Lens•Lab is a super easy-to-use app for Mac that helps you understand how a photo’s depth of field changes with different settings like focal distance, aperture, and focal length.

Simple Interface

The Lens•Lab app has a clean and simple interface. This makes it really straightforward to start simulating different combinations of focal distance, aperture, and focal length. You’ll quickly see how these factors can change the depth of field in your photos!

Main Features

In the main window, you’ll find a central area where different values are plotted over an image. These include hyperfocal distance, focal distance, total depth of field, and vertical angle of view. This setup is designed to make it easier for you to grasp what kind of results you can get with your camera's lens.

Easy Controls

Beneath the main display, there are slider controls for adjusting the focal length, focal distance, and aperture. This means you can quickly compare various lens models without any hassle.

Sensor Format Options

Lens•Lab also lets you pick the camera’s sensor format from options like Full Frame, APS-C, or Four Thirds. This feature helps ensure that you’re getting accurate depth of field calculations based on your specific camera model and sensor size.

User-Friendly Help Section

If you're new to photography terminology, no worries! Lens•Lab includes a detailed help section that explains everything about depth of field. It’s great for anyone who wants to dive right in and start experimenting with their lens combinations!

Versatile Tool for Photographers

You can use Lens•Lab for many things—education on photography concepts, calculating depth of field values for specific lenses, or even when you're considering buying a new lens.

A Learning Tool

If you're teaching students (or if you're learning on your own), Lens•Lab gives an accurate representation of what depth of field looks like with different lenses.

Your Depth of Field Calculator

This app acts as a handy calculator too! You can quickly find out all the depth of field values for any lens model paired with your chosen sensor format.

Lens Buying Simulator

If you’re in the market for a new lens, use Lens•Lab. It gives you a realistic idea of what results you'll achieve when using it with your own camera setup.
