Re: iPhone Viewfinder app
You need a better walkthrough.
I just bought and trying...
I also want 11X14 and lenses tp 1200mm
7X17, etc
Re: iPhone Viewfinder app
How do you handle displaying the correct field of view, if using lenses on camera that have an angle of view wider than the iPhone camera lens?
Re: iPhone Viewfinder app
At the moment the app cannot display outside the capabilities of the iPhone camera. I intend to add support for some of the wide angle lens attachments you can get for the iPhone in the near future.
Re: iPhone Viewfinder app
I know the walk through isn’t ideal. I’ll look to improve it. Have you looked at the help pages yet? I can increase zoom levels but at some point you’ll hit the limits of the iPhone camera. Regarding the film formats you can add your own custom film format sizes in the film format menu page.
Re: iPhone Viewfinder app
I just bought the app and it's fairly easy to figure out. It's an added bonus that it also has a light meter function, is it a spot meter or overall average or ???. I haven't tested the metering accuracy yet against another metering app I have or my spot meter (those two agree within 1/3 stop). There's a hard focal length limit at 400mm, which is likely a consequence of the finite zoom range of the iphone's camera relative to 35mm full-frame, but 400mm isn't all that long for an 8x10 user. It would be even more useful if you could implement format-dependent focal-length limiting, but I understand that's probably a level of complexity beyond the initial release. Why not allow the user to enter whatever focal length he wants into the list and do the limiting at selection time since the format is known then - invalid choices could show in red or something.

Wouldn't applying an outline to show the image area address these? I don't have an iPhone so don't know how the app displays currently. I do think it's a useful concept - even if limited to 6x9, 4x5 and 8x10.
Re: iPhone Viewfinder app
Currently the app will display a red outline and the area that can be captured by the iPhone camera is displayed at the right scale for that focal length.

The standard mode for the light meter is average but if you touch the screen it will be a spot meter for the point you touched. It works in a similar way the iPhone camera app works.
Regarding the 400mm focal length limit that is being upped to 1500mm. I have just submitted a new version of the app to Apple with this change
Re: iPhone Viewfinder app
Good
I do hope you sell many copies.
What's $2 these days!
