About Metered - Film Light Meter
Metered turns your iPhone into a Light Meter, with intuitive controls, but it's also one that knows your camera and film. Pick your camera from a built-in library of classic bodies — Hasselblad 500C/M, Pentax 67, Nikon FM2, Rolleiflex, XPan, and dozens more — and the app meters within its real mechanical limits. Shutter readings never exceed what your camera can do, apertures never open wider than your lens, and the frame preview matches your film format and lens choice: 6×6, 6×7, 6×4.5, 3:2, even 65:24 panoramic. Add your own as well! Load a stock from the built-in film library — Portra, Tri-X, HP5, Velvia, Ektar, Acros — and your ISO is set; push or pull a stop and Metered tracks it automatically. Shooting something we missed? Add your own cameras and lenses — with custom shutter, aperture, and format limits — and your own film stocks.

What’s new
Version 1.2 · Updated September 29, 2026
1. The preview now shows what your camera sees. Choosing a camera crops the preview to that lens's field of view on that film gate, so a Hasselblad with an 80mm frames like a Hasselblad with an 80mm. When your film sees wider than the phone can, the app says so rather than quietly showing you less. 2. Cameras are now a body plus a lens. Pick a body, pick a lens, and save the pairing. A body stays put for a roll while lenses change, so swapping a lens is a long press on the camera in the picker. Lenses are named as they really are and grouped by mount — Nikkor, Canon FD, Super-Takumar, SMC Pentax, Zuiko, Rokkor, Summicron, Zeiss, Sekor C, Zenzanon-S — with the focal lengths the old list never had, and specifications checked against published sources so the meter only offers apertures your lens can actually set. IF YOU ADDED A CUSTOM CAMERA BEFORE THIS UPDATE, it carries over as a fixed-lens camera — the old format never recorded whether its lens comes off, so we assume it doesn't. If yours takes interchangeable lenses, add it again as a body and pick lenses for it. Your starred cameras and your selected camera come across untouched. 3. Locking a dial now solves the other one. Shutter-priority and aperture-priority metering work as intended. This was broken in every previous release. 4. Widgets and quicker access. Lock-screen widgets, a Control Center button, and a home-screen widget. 5. Guided setup tips, a dark interface throughout, and reciprocity corrections for long exposures.
