HFD App + iPhone = Super 8 joy
iPhone users rejoice - we have Super 8 convergence!
There's a fab little iPhone App available called the Hyper Focus Calculator that will calculate the acceptable focus distance for any aperture and focal length for a huge variety of cameras and formats.
The good news is that the HFD Calculator has just been updated to include 8mm, Super 8mm and 16mm formats and is damn useful in the field to make sure that you're not going to be shooting soft. Simply dial in the aperture and focal length from your camera - the distance beyond which all objects can be brought into an "acceptable" focus is then displayed in feet, inches or that newfangled metric system. Genius!
