Region for M or FT
just notice to change meter to Feet because of region of my phone… I’m in canada, so I’m stuck in meter, please change this to choose between and I will give it a 5 star!
Handy tools
Ive used the tools here to teach the physics of light in cinematography. When im shooting sometimes I’ll refer to it to for a quick reference for DOF. I’ve used it for years and still have my hard copies of kodaks guide for cinematographers
Swing and miss
Genuinely crazy that you can’t switch between metres and feet without changing your entire system region
Abandoned app
This app hasn’t received an update in 7 years.
App functions removed
Light meter gone. Had this app for years.
Change the control for the unit of measurement please
Love the tool but I’m stuck using the website version because I need to be able to measure in Feet not Metres so that would be really great for the user to control!
Please update asap :-)))

Essential
Very clean designed application. Bravo.
Only in metric
Footage…. Needs to have imperial option
Bad
F stop for super 8 only goes to 1.4…i have 2 canons ones f1.0 and the other is f1.2. Also cannot set subject distance or dof to meters. Pathetic
Stuck in meters
My app is stuck in meters and no one in the uk uses meters to measure film length
Kodak baby!
Excellent for when you need to measure a film roll. ;)
Film Calculator (Feet)
Great app but unfortunately I am no longer able to get work out the amount of running time when working with Feet.
Use it Daily
Run a transfer company where we take old movie film and capture it in 1080 or 4k depending on the cusromer.
Most times the footage was undercranked at time of capture (film run slower so more content over fewer feet of film similar to VHS standard play vs long play) which means everyone becomes Charlie Chaplainesque when played back at the proper 18 fps aa opposed to 16 / 15 / or at the extreme end of 12 fps.
I use this to determine the final charges after I time correct the footage to play back at ‘normal’ motion, which involves slowing the image playback down.
Also great for when I take the Beaulieu or Bolex out to roll REAL film in todays harsh digital age.

Fun tool
It has some fun tools that I use all the time. Wish they would update it.
Film calculator in metres - come on Kodak!
I like easy interface of the film calculator apart from a glaring mistake. You can’t change the settings from metres to feet unless you change all of your iOS settings by changing the region to USA. It thinks because I live in the UK that I’d measure film in metres. This just isn’t how film is measured or thought of so I found myself having to use the calculator after doing a separate conversion from feet to metres and back again which defeats the purpose.
Come on kodak, give us the ability to choose metres or feet in the app or just make it feet by default worldwide.

Great DoF calculator
This is a very simple app that was originally designed for use with analog motion picture films, for cinematographers. However, it can also be used for depth of field calculations for photographers who have full-frame digital cameras. Previously, I used other methods to perform those calculations, involving paper slide calculators or an electronic programmable calculator, but they were not as easy or as quick to use as this app.

App is perfect!
App is perfect don’t change a thing about! Always use it to determine how much film I need to buy and how long the runtime will be.
Useful tools, but missing features.
This is a really helpful app for calculating frame rates and time, but the older version had a sunrise/sunset calculator that I used on basically every outdoor shoot. This feature is missing on this version and it’s a real shame.
Great app with a big flaw
The unit of measure (feet or meters) is determined by the user’s phone regional settings, which is incredibly annoying if you’re, say, Canadian and want to know how long your 250 feet of film will last. The app would be much more useful if it added the unit of measure to list if variables controlled by the user.

Good
