Expono is a camera for people who miss film. Ten looks, built from real stocks — Ani, 800T, Chrome, Cine, Golden, Street, Portrait, Vivid — previewed live on your viewfinder before you shoot. 800T reads the light in your scene: warm under tungsten, blue-teal in daylight, with the red halation around lights that made the stock famous. Add Film for grain and halation on any look. Photos are 48 MP, straight from the sensor, with Apple's HDR processing turned off. No flattened shadows, no glowing skies, no crunchy sharpening. Just a photo. Double exposure, done right. Shoot one frame, watch it ghost over the live camera, line up the second. Switch lenses between frames. Or pick two photos from your library and compose them with a drag and a pinch. Portrait mode with a real lens-shaped blur you can adjust from f/1.4 to f/8, before or after the shot. Import anything from your library — photos or video, shot on any camera — and give it an Expono look. Change the look later; it always re-applies to the original, never on top of the last one. Record video while your music keeps playing. Automatic night mode. Location tags. Full-res, no watermarks, no subscription. Everything happens on your phone. Nothing is uploaded.

See a look you love? LookBridge tells you how to shoot it on the camera you own. Point the AI coach at any photo — a film still, someone else's shot, your own frame — and it explains how to recreate the look: the exact settings in your camera's own menu language, plus the genre, the lighting and the technique behind the shot. It works for any brand: Fujifilm, Ricoh, Sony, Canon, Nikon, OM and more. Every result is honest about its confidence — never a fabricated number. For Fujifilm and Ricoh, LookBridge goes deeper: • READ — Open any Fujifilm or Ricoh JPEG and pull the exact film simulation / Image Control and every parameter, straight from the EXIF. Always correct, never guessed. • PREVIEW & EXPORT — Render a recipe onto your own photo with our calibrated Fujifilm and Ricoh GR IV engines, fine-tune the parameters live like the in-camera menu, compare with a before/after slider, and export at full resolution. • RICOH GR LIVE — No viewfinder and bright sun washing out the screen? Connect your Ricoh GR over Bluetooth and hear your settings spoken in your earbuds, live as you turn the dial — free for ISO, aperture and shutter, and in Pro pick any values (EV, white balance, battery and more). Frame by eye, set by ear. • CHECKLIST — Set up your camera step by step, in its own menu order. • COMMUNITY — Discover recipes shared by other photographers, and publish your own with your sample shot and a profile photo. Universal app for iPhone and iPad. Reading, preview and the on-device estimate run on your device; a photo is sent for AI analysis only when you ask. Free: read recipes, browse the community, save your recipes, and get a quick on-device look estimate. A one-time Pro unlock (no subscription) adds the calibrated Fujifilm and Ricoh GR IV engines, live preview with before/after compare, full-resolution render & export, the customizable Ricoh GR live readout, and a starter bundle of AI coach analyses. More AI analyses are available as one-time packs. "Fujifilm" and "Ricoh" are used descriptively only. LookBridge is not affiliated with or endorsed by either company.
