Second View - viewfinder

PLEASE READ FIRST Second View is not a camera app and does not take photos for you. It will not make your phone shoot like film. It is a companion tool that helps you frame, meter, and plan shots before you press the shutter on your actual camera, whether that's a film camera or a digital one. The reference photos it saves are framing aids, not your final images. --- Second View turns your phone into a precision field toolkit for analog photographers. Set your lens and film format, and the app crops the ultra-wide camera to show exactly what your film camera will capture. Same field of view, same aspect ratio, same framing. Supports 35mm, medium format (6x4.5 through 6x17 panoramic), large format (4x5, 5x7, 8x10), digital sensor sizes, and custom sizes too. VIEWFINDER Precise field-of-view matching for any focal length and film format. Works in portrait and landscape, with your choice of control side, even upside down. LIGHT METER Built-in light meter. Select your aperture, and the app calculates the correct shutter speed in real time. EV compensation, hyperfocal distance display, auto and manual modes, readout in shutter speed or EV. SPOT METERING Meter the whole frame, or switch to spot mode and place a reticle to read a small area of the scene. Calibrate it against your reference meter for results you can trust. LENS FILTERS Log the ND, polarizer, and color filters mounted on your lens. The meter compensates the exposure automatically, and every capture records them. RECIPROCITY CORRECTION 60 film stocks with accurate reciprocity failure curves. Exposures over one second get corrected automatically. Supports Kodak Portra, Ektar, CineStill, Ilford HP5, Tri-X, T-Max, Fuji Velvia, Provia, and many more. LONG EXPOSURE TIMER A countdown timer built for long exposures, with a 3-second pre-countdown to open the shutter and a full-screen progress ring. PARALLAX CORRECTION Compensates for the physical offset between the phone and the camera's taking lens. Set the subject distance and the correction is applied automatically. RISE, FALL AND SHIFT Simulate the movements of a view camera or technical camera. Offset the crop up, down, left, or right in 1mm steps. COMPOSITION TOOLS Rule of thirds, phi grid, golden triangle, square 1:1, and a fully customizable grid with up to 12x12 divisions. Bubble level with roll and pitch readout. PANORAMA SIMULATION Preview a stitched multi-frame panorama before you shoot it, and save it as a planning image. SHOT CHECKLIST Build a step-by-step checklist for each kit and run through it right in the viewfinder. Set one step to fire the shutter automatically when you reach it. CAMERA KITS Save complete configurations and switch between them instantly. Each kit stores its lenses, film format, preferred film stocks, enabled features, parallax offsets, control layout, and checklist. Pick a camera body and the format picker narrows to the masks it can shoot. Multi-format cameras like the VZ-6617 get a film-advance guide showing which frame to wind to in which red window when you switch masks mid-roll. FILM ROLL TRACKING Track your rolls from first frame to last, so you always know which roll is loaded and when it was exposed. CAPTURE AND GALLERY Save a reference photo cropped to the exact viewfinder framing. Each capture includes full metadata: focal length, film format, film stock, filters, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, rise/shift offset, GPS coordinates, and timestamp. Edit exposure data, add notes, group captures into rolls, and export a CSV film log. --- Privacy policy : https://blinard.notion.site/Second-View-Privacy-Policy-34ae4e31a6268064943cc13ef857108c?pvs=74
