Calculators

Kodak Film Calculator

Use this calculator to determine how much stock you will need to purchase if you are plannig on shooting on film. The calculator supports all Kodak formats. Simply select the format (35mm, 16mm, etc.) and frame rate, enter either the total film length in feet or the total running time and it will calculate the other.

Film Stock Calculator

Here is another Java based calculator which lets you input your shooting ratio, running time in minutes, cost per foot, discount and sales tax, and will calculate how many feet of film stock you'll need, and the exact total cost.

Depth of Field Calculator

Allows you to calculate your depth of field for any given lens and camera combination. Designed primarily for still cameras, it takes the camera itself into consideration. Useful if you plan to shoot on 35mm film or are using a depth of field adaptor like the P+S Technik's unit.
