Must have for film
Best choice for film photography. I have Fuji TX-1 and Hasselblad 500, and Second View makes the process light and reliable. Even more it has a record feature to store the information of the shots made.
Excellent with tons of options
This is a very good viewfinder app. Photographers can set their lens and film format, and the app crops the ultra-wide camera to show exactly the frame of view the camera will capture: the same field of view, the same aspect ratio, and the same framing. It supports 35mm, medium format (6×4.5 to 6×17 panoramic), large format (4×5, 5×8), and even fully custom sizes. The app works even better with the built-in parallax correction, which allows you to align the wide-angle lens of the iPhone with the exact perspective of the lens.
It also has accurate reciprocity failure curves for a huge list of film stocks. It’s great!

Absolutely essential for large format and panoramic film photographers.
Been using the app for over a month now. Fantastic way to ensure your shots are accurately metered, focused, and composed - especially when zone focusing and not using a ground glass. Parallax correction is accurate and indispensable! Really helps you make the most of your film and not waste any shots!

Subscription :( Just 3-day trial?
Just a 3-day trial? I understand that you need fo be paid for your work, but a subscription? Really? Can’t you do like some other app, ask for a paid upgrade to the next version, and let people decide whether or not to upgrade?

Response from developer
Hey, thanks for the honest feedback, I really hear you on subscription fatigue. For context, this isn't an Adobe situation: it's a tiny indie project, and the subscription is what lets me keep shipping updates, fixing bugs, and adding features people actually ask for instead of disappearing after launch. Worth mentioning too, the subscription is annual (not monthly), the price is genuinely modest, and you can cancel anytime right after subscribing while keeping access until the end of the period. That said, 3 days is short, I agree, and I'm looking into extending it. If you want to give the app a new shot, shoot me an email. Either way, thanks for taking the time to write.
Ultimate film photography companion
I shoot a lot of fully manual medium format film cameras, and this app is indispensable. Metering is accurate, framing is precise, but most importantly it has PARALLAX CORRECTION and DISTANCE MEASUREMENT! These are crucial when I shoot 6x17 panoramics and want accurate framing without dealing with the ground glass.
Amazed that this is the first available app that does this, and amazed that it does it so well!
