Hi Stephen, glad you’re enjoying my little script. As far as I know, Martin Tai is the genius who originally came up with this idea on this photo.net article:

And about the name, you weren’t that far off It’s ACK-TEM-I-CHUCK

Cheers,
Tom

Here is a link to the exposure guide article: http://figitalrevolution.com/2009/03/18/thoughts-on-exposure-calculators/ For good information on DOF charts: http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html Cheers- Stephen

Great tip, I will try it. Sometimes it’s not easy to estimate distance with my R35, mostly when it’s close and at wide apertures.

Would you mind to share your exposure guide and DOF table?
I find your “combined tool” very clever and useful.

Thanks!

Very helpful ideas here.

I have been playing around with a Holga 135BC and the thing I struggle with most is making sure things are in focus… while some distances are easy to estimate and reasonably simple to guess at, others are really challenging. I think this exercise might be the direction I need to try next. Thanks!

This is really cool idea! I’m totally gonna tattoo this rangefinder-scale on my finger! Then, when confronted by an autofocusing dslr geek, I can just raise my hand and read from my finger “your subject is nine-and-a-half feet away, do you really need autofocus to know that?” After that, I pull up my sleeve and tell him the exposure value from my (also)tattooed exposure guide in my arm.

Then all women in vicinity realizes my photographic superpowers and I get laid. really.
