We're supposed to post photos?
Actually I never bothered working it out.
With LF just sopped down a bit and used a mag on the glass to check it visually then shoot a polaroid and check it that way (calculating DoF if you are using Scheimpflug is a *****).
Most 35mm film camera lenses (and some MF lenses) have an approximate DoF scale on them anyway. You can estimate how much DoF you need by focussing on the nearest point you want, and the furthest, and checking the difference using the DoF scale.
Remeber that for landscape it is best to optimise. Normally you focus on something quite far away - if you stop right down for max DoF you are technically focusing some of the image beyond infinity. To maximise DoF focus use the hyperfocal distance (or put the infinity marking against your aperture on the DoF scale).
