Hyperfocal distance for Lumix LX100?

6 posts
  1. Hi there!

    Does somebody knows how to calculate the hyperfocal distance for the Lumix LX100 lens?

    The lens is a Leica DC Vario Sumilux f/1.7-2.8 10.9-34mm (24-75mm) and has a multi-aspect four thirds sensor.

     

    The autofocus is generally good and on works fine on land, but video autofocus under water works bad and using the right hyperfocal distance would help greatly.

     

    Thanks

  2. Thanks Trickster,

    but the Lumix LX100 is not listed at dofmaster.com.

    They are several android programs for DOF and hyperfcal distance, but same problem, the LX100 is not listed.

  3. Google was my friend and i found this interesting review of the LX100: http://vid305.com/v?i=7DDmuRBgBK4
    As he says, hyperfocal distance should be set to 5 ft and this will give a DOF from 2.5 ft - infinite @ f/5.6

    That sound a bit strange (or too good to be true) to me ...

  4. Does that match with say selecting the Gh2 from the drop down list on the website? (As they share same sensor size?)

  5. The Panasonic GH2 may have the same sensor,
    but interchangeable lenses.
    And from my understanding what matters for hyperfocal distance is the combination of sensor and lens.
    But i may be wrong ...
