[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 418724, member: 24753"] The DOF calculators are not as useful in macro because the distance used in the calculation is from a point in the lens that is generally unknown. There are some magnification based DOF calculators, but they don't seem very accurate. And DOF is somewhat subjective anyway. My thinking is, since the aim is almost always to increase DOF to the max, there is not much reason to calculate. Just go small on aperture and if needed back up a little. [/QUOTE]
