This one works properly and works for me !

It’s very accurate and great for film photography. Especially when vintage film camera light meters are suspect, wrong or simply no longer work. The exposure value triangle is very easy to interact with in this app. You can take spot light-meter readings from any part of the “viewfinder” / “picture”. Brilliant app that works properly. 😀

Один из лучших экспонометров для пленки

Всего три ползунка, кнопки на фронтальную и основную камеру, запоминает значения если выйти из приложения. Просто идеально, ничего лишнего. Зачение выдержки/диафрагмы получаешь в два клика, очень удобно и не отвлекает тебя от съемки.

One of the best

1 small issue is the size of the text, sometimes I adjust aperture when I want to adjust SS.

Clean & Accurate

This is my favorite light meter app, by far. An extremely simple and easy way to get accurate metering quickly, and it looks great too. A bit of a learning curve (it’s extremely minimalist) but brilliant once you get the hang of it.

Выдающееся приложение!

Наглядность, простота и функциональность на высоте! УСуперудобно, что можно в кадре нажатием на экран посматривать экспозицию. Это дает возможность легко выбрать экспозицию как по-светам, так и по-теням или задать значения эксповилки.

Clear and Simple

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

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.

To Luis

The community appreciates you! Thanks for making this app free for us out there who can’t afford a light meter

Put some space in between the S,A,I!

Put some space in between the S,A,I! It’s so close to each other

Perfect, easy, and free

A light meter is so so simple it blows me away how many apps try to lock features behind a paywall. So thankful for the kind soul that knew us film photographers just needed this. Easy and intuitive. Thank you so much!

Ottima

Ottima ma se ci fosse possibilità di bloccare gli ISO sarebbe perfetta da 5 stelle per me
Il resto non posso contestarlo, facile ed intuitiva e ottimo il design minimalista e non invasivo

Perfekt

Vielen Dank

Лучший экспонометр

Точный, очень простой, ничего лишнего, приятно пользоваться. Большой диапазон значений, замечательный.

????

I cant remember which setting is which and for some reason it’s impossible to find out, even when googling. I don’t really understand that.

Best design and usability

Simply the best and minimalistic design and usability app. It has the Leica like feel to it. Highly recommend

Best lightmeter, has all the essentials

Honestly the best light meter app & really appreciate that it’s free. Would be nice to have a dedicated screenshot button as well as have the circle where you choose what to expose for stay on screen longer or just remain on screen so that you can reference it when you take a screenshot. Also the ability to lock the ISO/Shutter/Aperture so you don’t accidentally bump it would be useful too. Thanks!

good

need 1/3 stops

깔끔하고 좋습니다

여러가지로 사용하기 편리하고
직관적인 디자인도 이쁩니다.

추가되었으면 하는 기능이 두가지 있는데
제안드려봅니다!

1. “제어 센터” 에 추가 할 수 있으면 접근하기 더 편리 할 것 같습니다!

2. 위젯으로도 앱으로 접근 할 수 있게 해주시면 잠금해제를 안하고 더 빨리 실행을 할 수 있을 것 같습니다.

좋은 어플 만들어주셔서 감사드립니다.

Inaccurate

It’s off by a solid stop or stop and a half in most scenarios for digital, and about 1 1/3 stops for negatives.

It’s unreliable for most scenarios unless you’ll be editing photos forever
