Sputnik Depth of Field and %MAOFD Calculators 

These files were apparently too large to upload to the Files section of this

forum, so I uploaded this text file instead - to provide links to the files at 

my server:

After opening one of these files in your web browswer, do a right-click and 

select "Save Picture As..." to save the file to your hard drive.  Then open the 

file with an image editor and print it per the instructions found within.

The 8 lp/mm calculator is much more agressive than the 5 lp/mm.  It will 

produce smaller Circles of Confusion at the expense of increased working 

distances to the nearest subject.  Try testing with both of them.  If you can 

not appreciate any improvement at 8 lp/mm (with your camera and viewer), then 

use the 5 lp/mm calculator.
