How to calculate the Hyperfocal distance

Distance hiperfocal for a long lens on a lens (focal length) and the aperture diaphragm (apperture) can be calculated with certain mathematical formulas that, I think, tricky.
For more details, these formulas can be viewed on wikipedia.

In addition to manual counting, there are also programs that can be used to calculate and simulate the hyperfocal distance.
This program really allows us to calculate the hyperfocal distance and also we can get tables hyperfocalnya distance. One program that I use can be found at DOFMaster.

DOF Master's Program, on the second illustration below, use a disc / disc where the sign / mark / notation on the outer disc is a sign of the distance (in meters), and on disk in a sign / notation aperture (Aperture / f number) of the lens in use.

By using the first translation as the basis, suppose we have a wide 28mm lens, and we'll use f/22 to get the DOF or area of focus (sharp) which selebar2nya, then if we set notation F22 distinguished above (which is boxed yellow) on the Infiniti, then hiperfocal we'll get the distance on the arrow [A] at 1.18m, and half the distance to the notation F22 hiperfokal distinguished under [b] at 0.59m.
So [A] is the hyperfocal distance or point A in the first illustration and [b] is half the distance from the hyperfocal distance or point B in the first illustration.

Quote: But at the time of our field, we certainly do not want to be bothered with the mathematical calculation, or by bringing a laptop or PDA to be able to calculate the distance hiperfokal a lens on the aperture / diaphragm with a particular program.
From the table that can be generated by the program, we can see with certainty and we can memorize, how much distance hiperfocal on an aperture diaphragm (aperture). And we certainly do not need to recall the distances at all aperture diaphragm (aperture). Quite on the opening (aperture) f/22 or f/16 the smallest example, because there lies our purpose use hiperfocal distance with a sharp focus areas (DOF)-wide area it until as close as possible to the lens.

And from my experience, I know just enough for some wide lenses only, or a super wide zoom lens focal length in particular. No need all ... especially telephoto lenses.
For example if the lens has an 16-35mm or 17-40 mm, we just need to know how much distance hiperfocal on 16 or 17mm focal length at f/22 or f/18 diaphragm or f/16.
