About this app

A reflected light meter with spot metering (using the device's camera) and an incident light meter (using the device's light sensor) in one app. Tested accurate against Gossen and Sekonic meters on most devices.

Can be used for any type of camera from film SLR to pinhole to cinematographic.

In addition to the two meters, the app includes a Color Temperature (White Balance) meter, a Reciprocity Calculator, an Exposure Convert, a Manual (Sunny Sixteen) calculator, a Depth of Field calculator, and an EXIF Reader.

Actual useful features A zone system spot meter maybe better than the classic handheld spot scope??? Could be! If you want spot metering, exposure calculation, and a way to quickly set up with multiple camera systems (quick access to just the lens/exposure options you actually need for your gear) this is a great option. Haven't tested accuracy on my Pixel 5a yet, but it at least *works* and updates EV readings, unlike most of the other apps I've tried which get stuck on one reading.

Let it be known, I am not a good photographer. But with this app I have one less excuse for being a bad photographer! I highly advise purchasing the app for the full features offered. The reciprocity failure section and being able to save gear for quick reference is invaluable. The app is very accurate (at least on my phone) and costs less than 1/10 of a light meter.

I love it. Very helpful for using old cameras that have no meter to start with, have a dead meter , or who's meter you just don't trust due to age. The app offers lots of helpful features however one issue I sometimes have is responsiveness. I'll change something and the numbers take half a minute to change . Another issue is that the app is easily thrown off by the sky , but plenty of meters have that issue so it's not a major concern.
