myLightMeter PRO

I found that the app has setting for Daguerreotype. Even though collodion isn’t daguerreotype it is pretty close. As a beginning wet plate photographer, I didn’t have the experience to get a good starting exposure. Using this app in daguerreotype mode, I can usually nail the first exposure.

I’m an amateur film photographer with a highly limited short-term memory. This app enables shooting in very odd lighting conditions on cameras with a limited choice of shutter speed (one of my cameras is from the 1940s), and removes the risk that I divide wrong and ruin an exposure.

I bought this app to use with my Rolleicord V, which has no built in metering. The results have been excellent, and the app was much cheaper than buying batteries for my old Gossen Lunasix. It's quick and intuitive to use, and I like the way I can tap to spot meter a point in the scene.

I used this with a 50mm lens with good results. Im not sure the actual field of view or focal length this measures but its harder to use and more inaccurate with wider and longer lenses esp with 60/40 meters. I don't understand why the window is a circle when camera sensors are rectangular. The app I use now has a slider you can change the focal length and also has a spot meter to expose for particular regions much more useful.

Well designed, beautifully executed. Straightforward to use and overall a great experience!
