Mobile phone tool for depth of field

In the old days (in the 20th century) lens manufacturers added a scale for depth of field on their lenses. On modern lenses you seldom see one.

I've made a small program that creates tables for depth of field. The program is supposed to run on your mobile phone so you will have easy access to depth of field-tables when you're out taking pictures. You can also get tables of hyperfocal distances.

Just enter the distance, the focal length of your lens and the acceptable circle of confusion (see below) and the program displays a table of depth of fields for different apertures.

In order to run the program you need a mobile phone that supports Java.
