Such a great reference

Daunting to think of all the camera sensor lens options out there and that the developers scoured for all that and put it together in such a useful reference tool. It’s good for figuring out solutions but also inspires some ideas of possibilities to test instead of just default choices.

One request : in the Sensor comparison, would love if the sensor modes for a camera could be cycled as a slider quickly instead of having to select from a list of modes. This may not be useful for others, but on some modern cameras there are so many ridiculous and varied sensor modes that it could be useful to reference quickly and visually different options in comparison to another set working space.

Thank you for your kind review and your suggestion! 🤩 I will add it to our feature request list so our development team can take a look at it.

Incredibly useful & thoughtfully designed! 🦄

Excellent reference software for photography and cinematography, featuring an extensive database of professional hardware shared with Cadrage (and thus forming the perfect companion app)! I find it incredibly useful for comparing, planning, contemplating and researching different potential hardware systems for use within creative projects. Thoughtfully designed and engineered with a clean, feature rich GUI and fast/intuitive to use!

Thank you for your review 🤩

Love this app

This is one of the most useful apps on my phone. It’s got a great database of cameras and lenses, but you can also create custom cameras/lenses if yours isn’t already there. I use this ALL the time to determine what lens I need for a given coverage at distance. But also whether I can get everything in the shot when space is limited. It’s really robust. My most frequently used features are FOV and DOF. Can’t recommend this highly enough.

We're happy to hear that! Thanks for your kind review 😊

Really handy for lens matching

I do a lot of mathematical lens matching with all of the modern formats being slightly different. This app saves a lot of time.

Thank you for your kind feedback :)

Great app

The app is super helpful as a starting point to compare lenses and cameras to match each other. Once I have my lens choices, I will begin my tests.

Thank you for your kind review! If you are missing anything in f8 that would change your 4-star rating to 5-stars, please let us know! We really appreciate getting feedback so we can continue to improve the app: support@cadrage.app

Excellent tool for pre-production

I recommend this app to all of my filmmakers and 1st AC friends. I just wish there was a way to add more lenses.

Thanks for your kind review 😊 You can add custom lenses in f8 by pressing "Add custom lens" in the upper left of your lens list. If you like to create a custom lens series, you can do so in the lens database by pressing "Add custom lens series". Hope this helps! If you need anything else, feel free to email us: support@cadrage.app

Everyone in focus!

Great app. It takes the guess work out of group shots!

Thank you!

loving it

brilliant app, essential part of the kit.
My only wish is to understand whether “distance” is based on distance from the sensor or distance from the front of the lens.

Thank you for your kind review! You question is a very good one. The distance is calculated from the principal plane of the lens, which is often roughly in the middle of the lens or around the aperture. This is the only optical plane that the app can mathematically do these calculations for. Don't worry about it too much though, for most practical purposes you can just assume the distance from the sensor. This is sufficiently accurate for DOF calculations and FOV calculations unless you are in an extreme macro range. Hope this helps!
