645 PRO Mk III Reviews

I need this App back in my Life...... ?? Please Update!

If you’re interested in the technical aspects of photography and want to capture better images with an iPhone, 645 Pro has a lot of options. You can use filters in the camera to get a particular effect or save an unfiltered image for post. Or the app can do both, it’s highly adaptable. The on-board 58 page User Guide details the many configurable functions. 645 coaxes every thing out of the iPhone to make is as much like a DSLR as possible. And it has old-school film features: if you want to simulate shooting with vintage 35mm film and a #85 warm filter or 6x7 b&w street photogrsphy with an orange filter, this app can do it. Notes: • the app simulates glass filters (including grads) and emulates a dozen b&w and color film stocks (contrast, exposure, sharpness, color temperature, saturation and film grain). • it also emulates every film size format, from 6x6 to 645 to 6x17. • I’ve found the developer to be responsive to inquiries and he updates the app regularly. I give it five stars. ★★★★★

Great App!

I’ve tried numerous camera apps over the years and 645 Pro is the best I’ve found. One feature request: please add support for the third lens in the iPhone 11 Pro.

Beat camera app for film photographers

I have made the best black and white photos using this app than I have using a 5k slr + photoshop + lots of time. Ortho film is my favorite. What a shame as it seems that further development of this app is not in the cards.

I use my iPhone for product photography, and the stripped down iPhone camera interface did not allow me to take the quality photos I needed to or even make basic adjustments. This app allows me to turn out stunning photos that look like they cost my company thousands, plus it’s easy to use and free!

Downgraded to zero if possible

DEVELOPER HAS PROVEN UNRESPONSIVE AND APPEARS TO HAVE ABANDONED APP. APPLE SHOULD DELIST THIS FROM THE STORE Original review: I will start by saying that the features in this application are darned near without equal across all iPhone camera apps. It's truly impressive the functionality that is packed into this app. And no in-app purchases - thank you! Where I find great disappointment is in the implementation, meaning, how one interacts with the app to make use of the features: First, on the surface, the idea of mimicking a DSLR layout sounds pretty good. In use though one is reminded that the DSLR layout works so well due to tactile feedback. You know where a switch/button is by feel. That is not recreated here as the iPhone is a touch screen. What you end up with is a fair clutter of distractingly rendered 3D buttons which make zero use of a touch screen's benefit. For example, hitting the flash "button" to toggle its state would be best implemented through an update of the icon on the button. This does not happen - instead the state is represented by a symbol resident in the viewfinder area, contributing to on-screen clutter. Other icons in the VF include white balance, metering, iso, speed, AF and AE lock, etc. To be fair, there is a button which can toggle all of the indicators off, HOWEVER, it also turns off the ability to see what your speed and iso is in any shooting mode and further disables the ability to adjust exposure in Auto mode (the adjusters disappear). In short, reasonable usability requires one to get used to clutter. Second, a key area where DSLR duplication makes sense is through the use of sliders to control speed, iso, and exposure compensation. This is a good mimicking of DSLR dials. Here is where the application majorly disappoints. Ironically, the choice made here is to use stepper "buttons" (in the viewfinder) instead of sliders - small +/- symbols. They are difficult targets, easy to fat finger and frustratingly slow to use. Third, you cannot use the camera in left hand landscape mode. The app seems to read that orientation as upside down and moves the shutter and associated buttons to the right side, away from the left hand. I happen to be left handed. This takes the rigid DSLR layout analogy a bit too far in my opinion. Perhaps a more positive way to look at it is that this app requires two hands under particular circumstances. In summary, for the slow and methodical shooter I can see the feature richness being something which wins over many and makes up for other shortcomings. However, for a street shooter looking for easily accessible controls with minimal fuss I for one would take a pass. Lastly, for the record, I took the time to share much of this feedback with the developer well in advance of this review - I didn't hear anything back.

Bye Bye

Per his website: After ten years, Jag.gr is taking a sabbatical… As of 1 July 2020, all development and sales are paused.

Still the best

For 5 years on this app. Best still

Phone gets really hot

rockmixer

Why is my iPhone 6 Plus getting SO hot after using this app for less than 2 minutes? Other than that issue, I really like this app. If the overheating can be fixed, I'd gladly give it 5 stars.

Awesome Photo App

SyntheticTone

I've tried many photo apps and this one always seems to be one of the top for serious photo geeks using an iPhone. Love how they made it almost like using a DSLR. Lots of thought went into this app and it shows and it keeps getting better with steady updates. Highly recommended for anyone that's wants a little more control over the iPhone camera settings.
