About Lumev
Lumev is a focused smart light meter for film photography. It turns the iPhone camera into a clear path from reading a scene to setting the shutter speed and aperture on a real camera. It is approachable for a first roll of film and precise enough for an experienced photographer. MEASURE WHAT MATTERS Begin with a full-scene reading. When the light is complex, open the live spot view, use digital zoom, and measure a face, subject, shadow, highlight, or any other important area. Every spot keeps its own reference image. Adjust the intended brightness for each reading, make one point primary, or give several points different weights. Lumev then shows the range of the scene instead of hiding it inside a single unexplained average. EXPOSURE PAIRS YOUR GEAR CAN ACTUALLY USE Create reusable kits with your camera, lens, film, working EI, and optional filter. Lumev respects the shutter speeds available on the camera, the aperture range and step of the lens, the selected focal length, and the light loss of a filter. It presents several useful shutter-and-aperture combinations at once, including a balanced choice, more depth of field, and a faster shutter. A clearly labeled chart and full table are there whenever you want to inspect every option. UNDERSTAND EVERY RECOMMENDATION Raw EV, your creative intent, filter compensation, and learned correction remain separate and visible. The “Why this exposure?” view explains how the final value was formed, so beginners can learn and experienced photographers can stay in control. LEARN FROM THE DEVELOPED RESULT Save each metering session with its scene image, individual spot frames, recommendation, and the settings actually used on the camera. After development, compare the result with the saved reference and rate the exposure. Lumev learns conservatively from repeated, consistent feedback for your equipment and preferences. One unusual frame will not suddenly change the model, and past readings are never rewritten. BUILT FOR A QUIET SHOOTING WORKFLOW • Fast live camera preview, with a monochrome view for black-and-white film • Full-scene, center-weighted, and spot metering controls • Profiles for cameras, prime and zoom lenses, films, and filters • Searchable history with reference frames and actual exposure settings • Handheld warnings and recommendations based on the selected focal length • Works offline; history and learning data stay on your device • No ads or promotional interruptions Lumev keeps the interface focused on the photograph: measure the light, understand the choices, set the camera, and keep shooting.
What’s new
Version 1.1 · Updated October 20, 2026
Keep your work portable: back up and restore your library, or share presets and photo history separately. Reference images now keep their orientation and spot-reading zoom. Optional precise location can be saved with new readings. Larger filters can be used with a step-up adapter. Spot readings are easier to capture, even with digital zoom, and the metering screens have been polished.
