I have a DoF calculator on my PalmOne handheld James. Mine is the Zire
72, complete with music player, camera, colour screen and full
"gadget-man" credibility; but you can buy a really cheap Zire 31 if you
want. The DoF calc comes from the E-1 website.
If you wanted to convert a Zuiko's focal length to the "actual" focal
length for the chart you would merely halve it ... I think ;-)
