    Reciprocity Timer 1.0

    Hi All. I have just had Apple accept my first iPhone App into the store! It is a simple little app I originally made for my own use that I thought others might also get some value from.

    It allows you to select from a list of available films and a metered exposure duration - from there it will calculate an actual exposure including reciprocity. The maths is based on as many formaulas I could find for some common films. You can currently select from Ilford B+W, Velvia (color filtered and unfiltered), Provia, Tri-X and Ektar. I will be more than happy to add new films if anyone has the mathematics and can send it to me.

    The app also includes a slider to let you add or remove stops of initial exposure (for example if you add an ND) and gives you a count-down timer to time-out your shutter.

    It's pretty simple - but I have found it really useful.These shots were made using it.

    I have it listed at $1.99 - but will obviously review that depending on feedback and workload.

    You can get it here.

    It would be useful to know all of the films included.

    The included films are listed in my post. I am also happy to add new films as the maths comes to hand!

    OK. I did not notice that. What I should have said is that I wish it had TMY2!

    Have you got a chart of times? I can try to calculate a best fit formula for it and add it if you have. If you have some useful data for other films just pm me!

    Just downloaded it – looks very interesting and will put it to the test this weekend ;-)

    How about Acros 100 and Efke films?

    Good luck in the future and thanks for what looks like a good tool!
    Are we truly creative, or simply too lethargic to become pedestrian?

    tmax 100 and 400; Efke 25 and 100; Acros 100 are those I use the most. Looks good.

    Nice-looking and useful app, well done.

    Is there any value in some sort of zoom function on the filter slider to trade less range for finer resolution, like 1/2 or 1/3 stop? I don't use filters that need 9 stops of compensation, but usually use 1-1/3 stop for my polarizer. So maybe the full +-9 stop range in 1-stop steps as now, and a second with +-3 stop range in 1/3 stops???

    Any chance of adding Velvia 100?
