Viewfinder Preview

I was looking for an app so I can use my iPhone X as a viewfinder on my Horseman Convertible totally manual medium format film camera. This camera has no optical viewfinder, no focus indicator, no meter. It takes 6x7 and 6x9 film backs, as well as a sheet film holder. The standard lens is 62mm. I was very happy to find that this app can be easily adjusted to accommodate both film backs, and I could customize a 62mm focal length lens. I’m looking forward to checking the accuracy of the light meter. Now, I wish it had a level indicator, or at least grid lines, so I can make sure I am holding the camera level. And I wish it had a distance meter so I don’t have to use my outboard distance rangefinder. The former should be an easy add. The distance function may not be practical.

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

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.

This app is great only wish that they had more film to use like sims til xx bw other than that it’s great

This is exactly what I was looking for while learning medium format shooting.

Here is your pocket rocket! You can also save images as tiff.

Why is that needed?

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!

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.

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.
