Eighteen T h INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER August, 1935 ENGLISH AND METRIC LENS FOCUS TABLES I am submitting herewith for the use of all cameramen concerned a lens focus table. These tables are worked out for the European stop numbers; the distances are given in metric measure, with corresponding tables in English feet and inches. The blank spaces are to be used for values computed by the user if that data is desired. These tables have been worked out for a circle of confusion of one-tenth of a millimeter, which is small enough for contact prints and two to four times enlargement. If using a small film camera and making 8" x 10" prints, 1 would advise using a circle of confusion of one one-hundredth of a millimeter, which approximates two and onefourth stop numbers smaller stop in order to sharpen the image on the photographic plate, thereby improving the sharpness of enlargements. By Paul R. Harmer In the diagram you will notice that X is the far distance, Y is the near distance and D is the distance on which the lens should be focused to bring in both X and Y sharp at the selected stop number. S is the stop, f the focal length of the lens and d the circle of confusion. If the user desires to photograph separated points, one in the near distance and one in the far distance he can solve for the required stop by substituting known values in the S formula. In the D formula you solve for the distance to be focused upon when X, Y and S are known. f2 D X = fa — ds f2 D (D-F) f2 + ds (D-F) f2 (X-Y) D 2 YXD — fD (X + Y) f2 (X-Y) ds (X + Y) METRIC 35 mm.
