## Viewfinder Preview 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

## Viewfinder Preview Reviews in United States

### **--- "Doesn’t retain info for long"
I loved this app when I first discovered it, but it seems to not retain the notes I enter for long. I made several photographs and added all of my notes I wished to make and a few weeks later when I was ready to develop my film, all of those notes were gone. I had about 10 sheets of film that needed different development, but that info was gone. I decided to just develop them all together for a Normal development time, resulting in some getting too much development and others not enough.
-- andydduncan, 2024-12-06

### ***** "Awesome App"
I find this very useful.
-- MMdad530, 2024-12-03

### ***-- "Needs some tweaking maybe?"
Updated my stars to 3 will go to 5 if fully implemented.

Need 6x17 and other aspect ratios like 65x24
On our fuji 50s.

Limited by aspect ratios. 

Also when using non full frame are the focal lengths for the sensor chosen or Fframe equivalent?

Tutorial?
A video online could be helpful
-- Grants opinion, 2024-08-02

### ***** "this is the app I search for so long"
although I spend some money on it but in fact this is the app I want for a long time. when I was taking film pictures I need a app can preview the lightmeter sets so much .not mentioned it also can record  it to the gallery.
one little suggestion: maybe we can add a config to choose whether the config automatically show on the side of pictures.
-- gantadanca, 2024-06-08

### ***** "Wow"
This app is great only wish that they had more film to use like sims til xx bw other than that it’s great
-- JayGuilmain, 2024-06-01

### ***** "Perfect"
This is exactly what I was looking for while learning medium format shooting.
-- Sco'rt, 2024-02-21

### ***** "Awesome app"
Here is your pocket rocket! You can also save images as tiff.
-- Karthik7800, 2023-04-25

### **--- "Access to all my photos?"
Why is that needed?
-- Joe cranker, 2022-12-17

### ***** "AMAZING!"
This app is truly amazing! I shoot medium format film. Before I pull my cameras out, I pull out my phone, launch this app, and I compose my scene with it. I can change focal lengths, introduce filters, different film stocks, etc. I can even use the app as a lightmeter to determine what can settings I may want to use! I always pass on "Five Stars" recommendations to fellow photographers!
-- William B Buchanan, 2022-12-11

### ****- "Great but might need an update for new iPhone"
I love this app, the ease of use and film emulations are awesome! However, on my 14 Pro the field of view on 35mm and 50mm doesn’t seem to be correct. The 50 looks more like about 60. I’d like to use it for framing and metering all in one but it isn’t quite there. If this gets updated it’s 5 stars easily.
-- Origringo, 2022-11-10

### ****- "Extremely useful for the right user"
I originally got this app to visualize various lenses on my digital camera. It did that very well. I recently discovered you can also use it as a good simulator of camera / lens combinations for shooting with the iPhone camera. The one minor annoyance is when shooting at a cropped setting the resulting image has a tiny 1px border, but that’s a minor quibble. A great app.
-- Dr. WuTang, 2022-10-16

### ***** "My favorite New app!"
If you shoot film, you will love this app.  Pick you camera/lens/film stock combo and let the visualization begin.
-- aloha_dave, 2022-09-25

### ***-- "Not sure"
I downloaded the app made the 3.99 in app purchase now every time I open app it only shows the purchase screen. iOS 16 on iphone11 pro max . ………… update after a few spam calls the app works and I can get into it now to set it up .  Only giving 3 stars because my first review Disappeared and it was clunky to use at first . It does do as advertised though . Don’t let my sour experience keep you all from getting this.
-- Fotogmike, 2022-09-17

### ***** "Great Viewfinder App"
By far my favorite viewfinder app. The only features missing are options to display grid lines, levels, and focus distance. While it doesn’t seem that focus distance can be easily and accurately calculated, grid lines and levels should be easy to implement so I’d love to see them in the next update. Thank you!
-- Lomancy, 2022-07-17

### ***** "Incredible"
I have carried a viewing card for decades. But not only does this app show me the framing and have the wonderful benefit of getting my itchy trigger finger off the shutter button when viewing through the viewfinder, for black-and-white it actually shows me the total range and this is invaluable. And now I always have my viewing card with me. Fantastic app.
-- misterca, 2021-12-28

### ***** "Perfect for my needs!"
This is exactly what I was looking for, and the combination of presets and customization help a lot in planning what lenses to take with me or to help plan future lens purchases for various film formats. Fantastic!
-- Jesse Holland, 2021-12-07

### ****- "Nice App. Works well!"
I am glad I bought this app. It is nice to double check the cameras exposure meter. 

Please add more focal lengths. Especially wider. 

Thank you!
-- BadBadLeroyBlack, 2021-10-21

### *---- "Widest lens is 35mm?"
As a landscape photographer I use wide angle lenses a lot.  This app is pretty useless as it only goes down to 35mm and my phone has a wide angle lens that is wider.  Was not clear before purchase the app was so limited.
-- NH Photo Guy, 2021-09-08

### ***** "Improvement"
It would be a big help if you can add lenses from 65mm to 300 mm T and 400mm T to the large format section and all lens choices in between.
-- mikeh72157, 2021-07-08

### ***** "Great app and support."
I use this app for recording and note taking when using my 8x10 camera.  Works like a charm.  Even the light meter has been helpful and I use a spot meter exclusively.  The app’s meter has saved several images when I noticed that it had a different meter setting from my spot meter.  Turns out my spot meter was on a wrong setting.  Great app easily worth the money.  Adam, thanks for your help.
