This review is from: Applied Depth of Field (Spiral-bound)

Covers the topic well showing formulas that relate to DOF including image magnification, hyperfocal distance, and DOF itself. Some basic lens design information. Discusses Airy disc and degree of print/slide enlargement considerations which is hard to find information. A bit hard to understand at times but I made it through okay. About half of book is Depth of Field charts for 35mm, 6cm x 6cm, 6m x 9cm, 4"x5", 5"x7", 8"x10" formats. Author has written other books and had much experience in photography though his formal education was in Anthropology. In some ways a historic book from an age of history (1985 copyright) when automation was less used and photographers became curious about this subject.
