Diffraction Calculator UpdateI've updated the Visible Diffraction Calculator for Digital Cameras to provide more refined results. This free tool allows you to select your camera, your infrared filter, and then calculate how much visible diffraction will appear in your images at various ƒ-stops. The original version allowed you to view the results in whole ƒ-stop increments. This update allows you to view results in either whole or 1/3-stop increments from ƒ/1 to ƒ/32. This view allows you to select the best aperture for your situation with more precision. Use the toggle in the upper-left corner of the table to switch between whole and 1/3-stop increments. To avoid visible diffraction, a little bit of yellow is fine, but avoid the red. If your camera is not listed, you can request that it be added. You can learn more by watching my videos on diffraction. If you'd like to geek out on how the calculator works, check out the About page.
