I've been researching Depth of Field (DOF) and Aperture and other things I was introduced to in my recent photography lessons. In the lesson on DOF, I was referred to DOFMaster to calculate DOF for different apertures to complete an exercise.
DOFMaster has an easy to use calculator that produces DOF tables based on your camera and the focal length of the lens. You can set it to give results in feet and inches, feet, or meters. You can also download the DOFMaster Depth of Field Calculator application if your computer has Windows® 95, Windows® 98, Windows® ME, Windows NT® 4.x, Windows® 2000, or Windows® XP operating systems. (Mine does not so I can't give any other information on this app.)
You can see a picture of how one photographer, Bernie Sumption, uses the DOFMaster DOF tables on his personal website. He created a table for each lens, printed them, and then laminated each table. This is a site worth visiting You'll find several articles for beginner photographers on Bernie's site and amazing pictures of the Sumptions trip from England to Australia. The last update was January 15th from the White Desert; it looks like salt instead of sand.
