Depth of field table

Distances are measured from the sensor plane. Each cell shows the near and far limit of acceptable sharpness in metres (∞ = to infinity). Circle of confusion = sensor diagonal / 1500.

FAQ

What is the depth of field of the Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8 Di III VXD at f/2.2 and 3 m?

At 70mm, f/2.2 and focus at 3 m, acceptable sharpness runs from 2.89 to 3.12 m — about 23 cm in total.

What is the hyperfocal distance of the Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8 Di III VXD?

At 70mm and f/8 on a Full Frame sensor the hyperfocal distance is about 21.3 m. Focus there and everything from 10.7 m to infinity is sharp.

How do I get more background blur with the Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8 Di III VXD?

Open the aperture to f/2.2, move closer to your subject and increase the distance between subject and background, and zoom in to the long end. You can check the result in the calculator above.
