All 35-70 lenses for 35mm have the same depth of field, so general
tables like those at:
http://www.reginaphotoclub.com/webapps/Depth-of-FieldCalculator.html
will calculate your depth of field for you. Just print out the table
for the focal lengths you want, and keep them with your.
For the example in the URL above, different browsers give me
different looking results, so you might want to experiment,
especially if you want them in meters.
My best results come from OSX 10.2.3 and Chimera Navigator FWIW.
This table also has instruction on the formula used, so you can make
your own table in a spreadsheet.
