*** Feb 8, 2019 "My favorite pinhole app!! "This is my go to app for pinhole photography…this has made getting good results much easier…" bizzy
*** Dec 16, 2016. "Wow. This app blew me away with its features and calculations (especially reciprocity fail). - Horacekenneth
*** Feb 19, 2014 Wonderful!! "This app is perfect for the pinhole photographer in the field. I love that I can save settings for all my cameras and recall them instantly in the moment. - Papskier"
*** So useful! May 26, 2013 "This takes the guesswork out of exposure calculation, since it turns your iPhone into a light meter and suggests the correct exposure! Works like a charm. Great app for pinhole photographers."
*** May 16, 2012 : "Pretty much the perfect app for pinhole", Gavin Lucas
*** March 26, 2012 "Pinhole photography - Great app! This will make pinhole photography much simpler to do", Zone v
*** November 28, 2011 "Great solution !! - Thank you for this Pinhole timing app. I have many different pinhole cameras and this will help me figure timing on all of them. Thank you !!Greg."
Pinhole Assist will be your companion to argentic and numeric pinhole, as well as view camera photography and wet-plate . The range of aperture and sensitivity (starting at 0.05 ASA ) allows for film, photo paper, wet-plate and as well as pinhole.
* Built-in camera computes exposure;
* alternatively enter EV reading for any lightmeter
* or enter time metering to compute reciprocity effect.
* Use built-in exposition timer and bubble level for optimal shot;
* The light meter has a spot-meter feature and allows for incident metering;
* Enter your camera aperture from the predefined list (170+ pinhole cameras) or compute it;
* Let the assistant automatically compensate for reciprocity of film (correction for long exposures, 60+ different curves included), or use your own curves.
* Save, restore and presets (combos) : aperture, predefined cameras, ASA and reciprocity settings
• 30+ builtin filters (red, ND…), add your own, mafast acess your favorites ,
* Log shot information : preview, exposure, metering, location, interactive map , date and a shot. Export as picture, CSV or JSON file.
You can create film and set reciprocity curve from within Pinhole Assist. Crete new ones, or tweak existing ones.
Use iTunes (on Mac/PC) to import/export access the films you created, or exchange them via email m curves (Go to the app Web Site for instructions)
* timer usability : now tapping the chrono icon directly starts the timer starting the chronometer automatically create a log.
* Combos : edit for your camera+ film combination (combo) the aperture or the predefined camera, as well as film speed and reciprocity.
* Choosing a film reciprocity now sets the film speed.
* 100+ different films, including Multigrade paper and Harman positive paper
* 250+ different pinhole and zone plate cameras : Ondu, Diana, Holga, Sténoflex, Reality soSubtle, Lensless, Ilford, Stenopéika, Vermeer, 8banners, ZeroImage, Leonardo, Carlos, Nopo, Spiral, Sharan…
Any other camera can be accommodated.
Go to the Settings to :
* adjust scales can be by ½ EV or ⅓ EV,
* enable bellow correction: a button will appear on the main screen to allow bellow adjustment, allowing to use view cameras;
* adjust the cell and incident metering constant;
* start the timer automatically or not;
* adjust log behavior.

Please note: this is not a camera app: it does not take picture. This is a sophisticated exposure calculator to take argentic (ou DSLR) shots with an pinhole camera.

A very useful App.

I've used this to calculate exposure on several different film stocks with the RealitySoSubtle 617 and another film camera. It is just about perfect. Creating a log for each photograph within the app is extremely useful. Thanks.

One of the best

This is just a great all round exposure meter. I do pinhole photography as well as using old film cameras and find this quite accurate as well as being easy to use. Has a spirit level and countdown alarm as well as reciprocity failure compensation for long exposures. Also has a database of known cameras with their f stops. Just a great app. Thanks!

Pretty much the perfect app for pinhole

I downloaded this app quite a few versions ago as it seemed like the answer to all my needs for to help with pinhole photography. In use it was great, although it gave exposure the time, I'd then have to use my watch to time the exposure. I thought that having a built in timer would be handy. Lo and behold an update came out adding a timer The meter was also often rather optimistic. Not a deal breaker for me as I have a light meter, but it would be nice to be able to leave it at home. Now another update came out and the meter is now close enough that it's perfectly usable. In my previous review, the one thing that I wished for was to have different camera presets. Now they have been added! This app is now pretty much perfect! Many, many thanks to the developer!

Brilliant tool

At last a really useful pinhole exposure app with built it iPhone lightmeter. One request would be that it also had a list lookup table of aperture/shutter time combos so for example I could meter with another camera then do the conversion for pinhole. Right now you need to either know the EV value (from an external meter) or use the built in iphone meter which is limited. Overall brilliant app and the reciprocity function makes it unique. I hope it stats actively developed and keeps improving.

Finally something with presets

I've been looking for an app to help me with my Zeroimage 35mm camera for a while now. I've used a few other light meter apps but not found one with the correct f-number for my model. This has it! Now I just need to work out how to use the reciprocal curves. I'm using a film stock that apparently has no reciprocity effects, but I need to check. Thank you to the author for this app.
