Depth of Field Calculator for Cinema and Film Formats
Work out exactly how much of your shot will be in focus before you get on set. This depth of field calculator covers 23 motion picture and film formats, from Super 8 and Super 16 through 35mm, VistaVision, 65mm and IMAX 15/70, plus digital cinema sensors from ARRI, Sony, RED, Blackmagic and GoPro.
Choose your format, then set the focal length, aperture and subject distance. The calculator shows your near and far focus limits, total depth of field and hyperfocal distance, and you can switch between metres and feet. Hover over any label for a plain-English explanation. It's free to use, built for cinematographers, focus pullers, directors and anyone planning a shot.

Aperture is treated as f-number; T-stops run roughly a third of a stop darker, so results are a close approximation. Sensor dimensions are nominal camera apertures. Spherical lenses assumed.
