    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 ...
    Every time I open the app it crashes the moment I touch my screen It worked for a few settings then started to crash Force quit the app yet it continued to crash I restarted my phone and to be honest at that point I was done with this app and it continued to crash a first tap This app is less worthless as it cost me three bucks Don t buy it     Does function at all BennyCaleb
    As a photographer and trainer I m often asked about lenses and how they work Sometimes people get it with just a few sentences Sometimes it helps to show them instead This is what I use to show them Whenever I show the other trainers they end up getting this too I don t use it all the time but when I do I m glad that I have it                     I ve used this for years Duzzenmatta
    This app really helped me realize why I was missing focus so much on a Nikkor 135mm f 2 I hadn t realized that unlike the lenses I m used to the DoF at 135mm and about 10 feet is razor thin unless I dial the lens up to f5 6 or f8 The app now looks great on apple s latest phones too                     Use this to plan shoots Cheule
    I love this app I use it for bokeh and macro photography constantly Saves me from having to doing the math                     Fast and simple Emmachette
    It is so easy to manipulate your camera lens There are dumb people who think this is for editing photos may the dumbness be with them forever                     Gotta be in your gadgets Ditmark
    Great if you have end end camera But useless otherwise Need to add compact camera and Smartphone sensor sizes to offer complete range of education         iPhone Sensor Sizes Tecsi
    I am soo confused It feels like I m reading a different language You can t use your own picture and it is soo complicated Waste of money DO NOT BUY I WARN YOU     Michelle182
    So that s why so many of my pictures don t turn out Wrong lens                     Good jumbotech
    LensLab is intuitive and helpful I ll definitely be keeping it in my iPod The controls are easy to adjust plus switching between different types of lenses and cameras is a breeze                     Helpful whatever it takes!!!
    I can t tell you how much time I ve spent trying to find the sweet spot on my 100mm macro lens where the whole flower is in focus not just the middle or front This tells you instantly Wow I look forward to many happy days together with this app                     If you want to know what is in focus this is the app TLSkiDog
    Nice app but seams to fails to dup what a good lens can do i e a 400mm lens that cat focus at 15 and have a 5 dof at f4 Good for basic learning             OK for cheap lens tonyl13
    Great app Best depth of field calculator I have seen Very clean layout Easy to adjust settings Great visualization of effect on DoF of various focal lengths and apertures Many settings to adjust to how much information you want to see Great work Jeff                     Wow wow wow Riiiiich
    Okay so far             Coffee_hound
    Helpful                     Nice Muktionly
    This app is accurate easy to use and generally fun to play around with I don t use it in the field much but I do use it to plan out shots ahead of time What impresses me more than the app itself is its developers I was asked for feedback suggested the sliders could use more precision controls and boom here it is on the next update about a week later Two thumbs up for these guys Great app great team would recommend to friends                     Great app great developers AuejshakUd727soab
    I love the enhancements It s so easy to use and quite reasonably priced Thank you so much                     Fun and Easy Sliders Are Awesome finneycanhelp
    Sliders are incredibly difficult to use precisely Good visuals but very frustrating to use             Good concept but Country.Mike
    The one thing missing to make this a complete lens exploration app is a measure of what horizontal and vertical ranges are covered at the focus length Currently just shows vertical angle of view Yes I can do the trigonometry myself but it would be killer to have that no displayed on the screen                 Excellent dof display ts232
    With the aid of this app I finally understand how to calculate hyperfocal distance Kudos to the developer                     Fantastic learning tool InaBech
    I agree with many of the other reviewers this is a great app This will make my HDR 360 degree photography a lot easier                     Nice job Leon Herbert
    While the app does a nice job of a physical presentation for the DoF I was rather put off by the lack of options for the sliders For instance the focal length only let s you go to a maximum of 200 The aperture settings had some strange numbers 5 7 It was also lacking some apertures for instance my Nikon D90 has f 10 but that s not available as an option Finally there is no place to put in the circle of confusion number nor does it maintain a camera database This means that if your camera has a different circle of confusion than the 3 the app lets you choose from the calculations are skewed It looks pretty but other DoF Calcs have more flexibility and better customization             Pretty but lacking sjhaji
    This is a really well thought out app nicely put together                     Really nice SickOfRipOffApps
    Freaking love this app In 30 seconds it taught me what two years shooting hadn t that shooting a long lens wide open means your depth of field is about 3 inches Sliders and a visual index that gives you an idea of the relative size of things as they ll appear in frame make this the best lens tool I ve run across yet Great for anyone shooting rangefinders as well                     Best tool yet for helping visualize a shot webslog
    This is a very easy to use app with a simple to use interface If you are just looking to know the DOF for a particular setup this is the app for you I especially liked the slick visual representation of the lens view and the movable background Objects are roughly to scale so it gives a pretty good idea of what would be in focus Unfortunately this app is missing a measure of the viewable area It does calculate the angle of view but if I wanted to do the math I wouldn t buy this app Displaying the dimensions of the viewable area at the plane of focus how tall and wide the plane is would help in planning shots It would answer the question How far from a person do I need to be to get a full length shot at 85mm on a 35mm sensor That isn t something the current app answers For me adding this additional calc would make this a 5 star app If you don t need that this is already a 5 star app IMHO                 Decent app PhotosbyChuck
    I like that it is easily manipulated via the touch interface The ability to drag the background is a nice added touch                     Good app Rich Gander
    Great for someone like me who is just starting out in the world of DSLRs                     Excellent riffola
    First off nice app by the author It provides solid information regarding depth of field However while reading through the information page I found myself annoyed by the misinformation the author provides regarding quality of Dale cameras based on their sensor size While sensor size does have certain impacts on a DSLR it does not specifically define the grade or quality of a DSLR This is just my pet peeve and if you ignore the authors bias in the info page this is a good app I m keeping it on my iPad         Nice app info page biased tokatoka
    Very well thought out visuals                     vfx dude Paulvfx
    Nice little app I m just getting into photography that doesn t involve the AUTO setting This will help visualize the effects of the different settings Nice work                     Does exactly what it says opusvelo

    Although the concepts are simple it can be challenging to put it all together This program does an absolutely fantastic job of presenting the information and how changes affect your depth of field Great job                 Simplifying the complicated
    This app has very useful figures that it gives you However the sliders are extremely difficult to use precisely It is almost impossible to get them to the exact number you want because if you slide it to the number you want and then let go no matter how hard you try the slider always moves forward or backward when you lift your finger off This basically means that getting it to stay on the number you want turns into a frustrating little game wherein you must trick it into landing on it In addition I will echo what someone else said some of the numbers on the aperture values are quite odd like 57 instead of 56 and 17 instead of 18           Solid but hard to control
    I like that it is easily manipulated via the touch interface The ability to drag the background is a nice added touch                 Good app
    Great app Best depth of field calculator I have seen Very clean layout Easy to adjust settings Great visualization of effect on DoF of various focal lengths and apertures Many settings to adjust to how much information you want to see Great work Jeff                 Wow wow wow
