  • Clear and Simple

    Thanks Luis for giving us this super easy light meter app at no charge. Love it!
    blooofblooof

  • Amazing app with perfect exposure metering

    I use Lightmate all the time with my Mint RF70. Every photo that I’ve used the metering results from Lightmate have come out stellar. If time permits, I never take a photo without it. Highly recommended. Will definitely be using this with my incoming Rollei as well.

  • Odd values

    As a photographer I’ve never had asa/iso 560 film or 140. I want 500 but it’s not there.

    Also shutter speeds 1/12s, 1/6s 1/45 etc ???
    Still it works and although a bit clumsy to use - the values change too quickly as you slide your finger and can’t be locked.
    No option for whole scene average reading only where you tap on the image.
