Please Note: There is no replacement for looking through the real lenses and cameras on set!!

Accurate, Intuitive, awesome

I’ve been using this app for previewing focal lengths for the past month or so, and I’m super impressed. It’s developers have done there research of various lens types and coverage of almost every professional format out there. It’s obviously a tool created by someone who means to use it their self. And it shows with how quickly and easily you can get a reference up, save your selection of lenses and snap photos at those focal lengths. I’ve been showing it to others who have been equally impressed.

Overall great

Love the design and UI. Desperately needs a custom lens set creator, as I had to hunt around the presets to find one that matched my set of Canon primes. I understand the app is geared toward high end professionals, but I’m sure I’m not the only one using it who can’t afford to rent Ultra Primes. Also would love to see the Blackmagic Ursa Mini as a camera option.

Great app when it worked but now crashes on open.

Best director’s finder yet

First of all, the App just works. That’s already better than most. Next, by integrating specific cameras, formats, and lenses, that means that I can make a really accurate judgement on what’s needed when I’m on the scout. One every photo taken, all the metadata is printed on the edges so that there’s no guessing after the fact and you spend much less time taking notes. So far, this is the best app out there for an iPhone director’s finder.

Best Directors Viewfinder App (by far)

Fast, intuitive and simple UI. Exactly what I was looking for, thanks for putting this together, it’s easily the best of this type of app to quickly find and communicate frames as a DP or Director
