Lens•Lab For Mac

Lens•Lab is an extremely simple to use and straightforward Mac application designed to help you learn more about how a photo’s depth of field depends on the focal distance, aperture and focal length a camera’s lens.

The Lens•Lab app comes with a minimal and intuitive interface that makes it easy to start simulating various focal distance, aperture and focal length configurations to understand how they will affect your photos’ depth of field.

Lens•Lab’s main window features a central area where various distance values such as hyperfocal, focal distance, depth of field near, depth of field total, depth of field far and vertical angle of view are plotted over an image designed to make it simpler to understand what results you can obtain with your camera’s current lens.

Under the main display, you can find the focal length, focal distance and aperture slider based controls that help you modify the lens configuration for quick and effortless comparison between a large variety of lens models.

Moreover, Lens•Lab also makes it possible to choose the camera’s sensor format between Full Frame, APS-C and Four Thirds support, so that you can get an accurate estimation for the depth of field value for a given camera model and sensor format.

What’s more, Lens•Lab has a detailed help designed to help you understand all the depth of field terminology and start using it right away for analyzing the outcome of your own sensor lens combinations.

Lens•Lab can be used for a large variety of purposes but, mainly, you can make use of it for education, depth of field calculation or buying help purposes.

As a learning tool, Lens•Lab will help you to offer students (or yourself if you’re an autodidact) a correct representation for the depth of field of a photo obtained using any given lens.

If you use Lens•Lab as a calculator, you will be able to quickly obtain all depth of field values you will get for a chosen lens model and a sensor format of your choice.

You may use Lens•Lab as a depth of field simulator while looking to buy a lens in order to get a true to life rendition of what you will be able to achieve while using it with your own camera.
