Description
Exposure is a light meter (exposure meter) for film photography. Point your phone at the subject and read off ready-made shutter–aperture pairs for the film you loaded.
It replaces a built-in meter that died or drifted, and the handheld meter you would rather not carry.
HOW IT WORKS Set the ISO of your film and point the phone camera at the subject. At the bottom of the screen there is a sliding scale: the first row is the aperture number, the second is the shutter speed matching the current exposure. Slide it horizontally to pick the pair you want — a fast shutter for movement, or a wide aperture for a portrait. The exposure value (EV) is shown at the top of the screen.
FEATURES • Real-time exposure metering • Sliding scale of ready shutter–aperture pairs • Exposure value (EV) on screen • ISO from 25 to 3200 • Exposure compensation from −5 to +5 stops • Pause to hold a reading • A warning when there is too little light to meter accurately
FOR WHICH CAMERAS Zenit, Praktica, Rolleiflex, Leica, any TLR or rangefinder — and any other film camera without a working meter, including medium and large format and pinhole.
FREE AND AD-FREE No ads, no subscriptions, no sign-up. Works offline and takes less than 3 MB.
ABOUT ACCURACY The reading comes from the phone camera, so it can differ from a reference meter by a stop or two, and the offset varies between phone models. Before an important shoot, compare the reading with a digital camera or a handheld meter and set the exposure compensation if needed.
Recent changes: • The camera now recovers on its own: start-up errors no longer require restarting the app • Readings at the limit of the camera are no longer presented as exact — a “too dark” or “too bright” note appears • Fixed selecting ISO 1600 • 17 new interface languages added • Android 16 support and general stability

The sliding scale is fantastic! A rough indication is all I need as a starting point for street photography, given the latitude of film.
★★★★☆Jake Weeks· Aug 9, 2020
I love the sliding scale, full-screen interface, but the lack of spot metering and the limited ISO/Exposure Compensation scale prevent me from giving it a perfect score. The ISO settings and exposure comp menus merely shift the scale by full stops. I can easily make full stop adjustments on my camera without thinking, but what I can't do easily (which the meter SHOULD be able to do) is give me accurate readings at odd ISO's like 160 or 1000 to match my film's best EI or push factor.
★★★★★Martha G· May 10, 2021
Very easy to use if the light meter in your camera doesn't work, and only 1.7Mb! Perfect

Image hangs for seconds then updates for a split second then hangs again, this behavior starts after changing the iso to 100. Makes usage impossible for me.
★★☆☆☆Nikos Karytianos· Nov 13, 2021
Sluggish even in modern Android devices. Also, there is no clear perception of what it meters. Is it the entire frame, a part of it? Also, that ruller thing does not make it nicely. For example, you can get f4 between 1/30 and 1/60. What should you use? It is an entire stop difference.

Looks cool, but makes phone camera crush. Restarted feew times and then after third use and camera crush uninstalled.
