Screen Shot--Windows Version of Filter
Factor Calculator
This software is offered "as
is" for you to try at your own risk.
The calculator will calculate the increase in f/stops needed for
up to three filters. Most people seldom ever use two filters at
the same time much less three unless a situation calls for stacking
neutral density filters. The f/stop adjustment expressed in
fractions is rounded to the nearest 1/4 f/stop.
I think most experienced photographers think of exposure as a range of
possible f/stop and shutter speed combinations rather than just the one
f/stop and shutter speed that might be indicated by your camera or
light meter. So, in addition to showing how to adjust f/stops for
filter use this might help new photographers that are not used to
thinking in f/stops.
The OS X version of this calculator has not been tested on Intel chip
versions but works fine on my Mac. Download is about 1 MB.
The Windows version will hopefully work OK, but I haven't had time to
test it. I doubt it will work on Vista.
