(DoF, continuned) For those who love slide rules (and I know that many of our rug-gers here do love those venerable devices workong withot electricity) I've plotted two circular DoF calculators to be glued on cardboard. Those Dof calculators "for fun" are valid only for far-distant objects, located 10x the focal length and further away; and distances are measured from the lens, not from the film plane like in classical engravings (measurinn from the lens position makes the model & computations of analogue scales and DoF limits somewhat easier). 1/ for the Rollei 35 f=40 mm circle of confusion = 24 microns ruler-dof-2p8-40mm-24mu.pdf http://cjoint.com/?BGfpYRZVsg52/ for the standard Rolleflex TLR 3.5/75 mm and 2.8/80 mm circle of confusion 50 microns

I've added here a .zip archive ruler-DoF-program+data-files.zip http://cjoint.com/?BGfrlz7mEhd with the program source files and various data-files that I've used in order to make the final plots in pdf format in a semi-automated procedure. I'm combining various free software tools under linux, a FORTRAN program, same vintage as my Rolleiflex T, with all input data hard-wired inside the code itself like in the good old days. Additional tools are the usual freeware stuff, the gnuplot plotting program and the xfig figure program for fine tuning the final layout, but you can use whichever drawing programme for this. --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx- Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org
