Camera Lens
Read full descriptionHide full description
Camera Lens is a familiar Photo and Video camera designed to keep partly broken iPhones useful. Disable individual physical camera lenses that shake, fail to focus, or no longer work. Camera Lens remembers disabled lenses and never adds them to its capture session. When enabled, unavailable zoom-level replacements can use digital zoom on a working lens to preserve familiar zoom choices. Features: • Photo and Video capture with familiar camera controls • Hard exclusion of disabled wide, ultra-wide, telephoto, and front cameras • Optional synthetic replacements for unavailable zoom levels • Per-lens continuous, single, locked, or manual focus controls • Per-lens focus range and remembered manual focus position • Per-lens video stabilization choices based on device support • HEIF/JPEG photos and HEVC/H.264 video formats • Capability-aware resolution, frame rate, HDR, flash, torch, timer, grid, level, exposure, and aspect-ratio controls • Recent photo, Live Photo, and video browsing with sharing • Camera Lens control for the Lock Screen on supported iPhones Privacy: Camera Lens has no account, ads, analytics, or third-party SDKs. It does not upload your photos, videos, settings, or personal information. Photos access is used only for saving captures and browsing your own library. Optional location access adds metadata to captures. Camera Lens does not repair damaged hardware. Results depend on which physical cameras remain usable on your iPhone.

f/64 is a camera with one promise: what the sensor saw is what you keep. PURE RAW Every shot saves a true Bayer RAW (DNG) next to the HEIC. No AI, no computational tricks, no Deep Fusion, no Smart HDR. Your negative, untouched. FULL MANUAL Shutter speed, ISO, exposure bias, focus and white balance, each on its own precise dial with real photographic stops. Lock any parameter, keep your settings between sessions. TOOLS THAT MATTER - Focus peaking, zebra stripes and a focus loupe - Live luminance histogram - All lenses including the 8x sensor crop - RAW exposure brackets (hold the shutter) - Subject tracking, AE/AF lock, horizon level - 1:1, 4:3 and 16:9 framing; the DNG always keeps the full sensor - Optional watermark and an Instagram-ready story card - Optional geotagging QUIET DESIGN A monochrome interface that stays out of your way, rich haptics and signature sounds. Photos go straight to your library; the app collects nothing about you. FREE, HONESTLY No ads, no subscriptions, no locked features, ever. If f/64 saves you a shot you love, there is a voluntary tip jar in the settings. Named after Group f/64, Ansel Adams and friends, who believed a photograph should be sharp, honest and made by hand.

Verdict
Camera Lens and f/64 are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
