f8 Lens Toolkit

Daunting to think of all the camera sensor lens options out there and that the developers scoured for all that and put it together in such a useful reference tool. It’s good for figuring out solutions but also inspires some ideas of possibilities to test instead of just default choices. One request : in the Sensor comparison, would love if the sensor modes for a camera could be cycled as a slider quickly instead of having to select from a list of modes. This may not be useful for others, but on some modern cameras there are so many ridiculous and varied sensor modes that it could be useful to reference quickly and visually different options in comparison to another set working space.

This is one of the most useful apps on my phone. It’s got a great database of cameras and lenses, but you can also create custom cameras/lenses if yours isn’t already there. I use this ALL the time to determine what lens I need for a given coverage at distance. But also whether I can get everything in the shot when space is limited. It’s really robust. My most frequently used features are FOV and DOF. Can’t recommend this highly enough.

brilliant app, essential part of the kit. My only wish is to understand whether “distance” is based on distance from the sensor or distance from the front of the lens.
