It is perfect for previewing camera framing for any combination of Goodman Cameras and lens, it will be constantly updated to work with all of them, even with the Pinhole version . Instead of spending all that time setting up your Goodman Cameras, just choose your desired camera and focal length in the app and point the iPhone camera at what you want to photo to verify framing.
