DoF calculation pt 1 (f/4.5)

I used the lens provided in the kit for the Nikon D3400, which is the ultra-compact AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens.

 

C = 0.020 mm --> according to Google

N = 4.5 (taken from f/4.5)

U = 457.2 mm

f = 35 mm

 

Using the DoF equation: (2CNU^2)/f^2

DoF = ( 2 * 0.020 * 4.5 * (457.2)^2 ) / (35)^2

= 26.924 mm

 

The ruler is also at a 45 degree angle, so that must be accounted for:

DoF = sqrt(2) * 26.924 ≅ 38.07mm

 

Looking at the photo, I’d say that it is fully focused around about the 9cm to 13cm mark, which would be a range of 40mm, which is pretty close to the calculated 38.07mm!
