I've looked over the DoF apps for the iPhone and am not sold on any of them. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks.

Depth of Field (DoF) App for iPhone?

The place for a DoF app is in the camera, integrated so that hyperfocal distance (as a for instance) can be self-setting on demand. The question that wants answering is why this hasn't happened already.
In between times, I recommend that we start asking camera makers when it IS gonna happen[?] Dammit, film cameras had a DoF slide rule engraved on the lens... what's the big problem with doing something vastly better with cameras that have a built in computer and viewscreen?

I'm posting this for future reference for others with a similar question. The best app I've found is OptimumCS
In the past with HDR photography I've set the f/stop at f/16 and then did the calculations for focus distance and depth of field or I've just guessed. With this app, it shows the necessary f/stop given the situation, which will produce the desired depth of field. In some cases it will be more open than f/16 such as f/8 or f/5.6 where there is usually better lens qualities and sometimes the "sweet spot".
I have not financial interest in this somewhat expensive ($2.99) app, but it's the best I've been able to find after research. It wasn't an obvious find since a search of the app store under "Depth of Field" does not turn this one up.
