Description

Viewfinder Preview is an iPhone app for previewing camera framing for any combination of camera and lens. Instead of spending all that time setting up your big camera, just choose your desired film/sensor size and focal length in the app and point the iPhone camera at what you want to photo to verify framing. If you are happy with the framing then you can get the big camera out. The app has a large database of camera sensors details and film formats but if the format you desire isn’t there you can add your own custom format. The app is targeted at stills photographers or film makers working in either film or digital. If you don’t have your big camera with you, Viewfinder Preview is still great for photo sketching, location scouting or story boarding.

The app includes

- Customisable menus so you can include the film/sensor formats and focal lengths you care about.
- A fully configurable light meter.
- You can take photos with it, so you have a record of shots you were framing.
- Photos taken with the app include additional data that describe the film format, focal length and lighting meter settings at the time the shot was taken
- Add notes to your photos
- A photo gallery for viewing photos taken with the app which also displays the additional data
- Share images in emails, messages
- Create albums of photos from the same project, trip etc
- Create PDF documents of albums
- Film stock emulation
- Wide angle lens adapter support

Excellent app

Large format shooter on

Very good app, I use a large format camera (4x5) and am very pleased with the convenience of framing it in advance. The light meter is so precise that I don’t bother to take out the spot meter Minolta anymore… 5 stars!

Für die Momente…

Wo man sich nicht sicher ist ob es sich lohnt die große Kamera rauszuholen und das Stativ aufzustellen. Einfach und übersichtlich mit vielen Film Simulationen. Super um Kompositionen auszuprobieren. Auch als Ergänzung zur digitalen Fotografie. Was noch ergänzt werden sollte: 1. Die Auswahl an Film Simulationen. 2. Die Option in RAW zu fotografieren. 3. Wenn man viele verschiedene Brennweiten (8-560mm) nutzt, wäre es super wenn die App automatisch zwischen allen drei Kameras (von zb iPhone 11 pro) wechseln würde. Den Dual Modus gibt es ja schon. Dabei wird aber nur zwischen Weitwinkel und Standard gewechselt. Sobald man aber über zb 50mm ist sieht man dem Standard Objektiv deutlich an dass es nicht mehr so gut auflöst. Wenn man dann im Menü das Telephoto auswählt sieht man direkt einen Unterschied. Aber jedes Mal ins Menü gehen, nur wenn man mal 50, 100 oder gar 200mm auswählt… ist mir zu aufwendig bzw. vergisst man einfach. Denn, ich persönlich nutze diese App eben auch um einfach Bilder zu machen. Und diese sollten so hochauflösend wie möglich sein. Also kurz gesagt: Triple Camera Modus!

Great! But not Epic

Thanks for this great and affordable app. Unfortunately, the wide angle lens of the newer iphone models cant be utilised which is a big factor. Also it crashes when trying to swipe through saved photos

Guter Instrument

My regular camera app

I use the app as a regular camera app. I take better pictures with Viewfinder and Portra 800 than with the standard app.

completely useless

In full format, 35 mm exists as the smallest focal length. At least 24 mm and 28 mm should be available in the wide angle. The iPhone camera would allow even more wide angles. 85, 105 and 135 are also missing. In medium format (6x45) 80 mm is missing, which is very common. Medium format 6x7 is completely missing. An aperture can be set, but it doesn't give a preview of a possible depth of field, which would be feasible with the iPhone's portrait mode. Selected focal lengths also give no indication of possible compression or distortions at the picture's edge. Technically this would also be possible.

Super nice, but one question

BennySiggi on

I love That one has the Option to choose a film stock for preview. But why has Ilford hp5 More contrast than triX in the preview?

Essential photography tool

Well thought through and reliable. The option to simulate different films is terrific, especially when you're shooting black and white.
