Try this new light meter concept for iOS7, it merges the new customization idea by Apple and my original light meter concept which has already been imitated. Why choosing modes, apertures or speeds if you can have them all right up front?

• ISO from 3 to 6400.
• Speeds from 1/8000 to 4 hours!!
• Apertures from f/0.7 to f/1024!!
• Exposure timer for pinhole cameras.
• Awesome light metering precision from -2EV to 21!
• Hold the readings and get them spoken!
• Front camera for incident light metering.
• Customize the app simply by choosing a picture from your gallery.
• Calibration.

Pros and cons of Light meter wheel app for iPhone and iPad

Light meter wheel app good for

Hands down the best light meter app currently available. Especially the volume button control ist just great. Of course it does not come close to the accuracy of a real light meter like a Kenko KFM but its good for a first guess.

Very helpful when looking for that perfect exposure. Checked it against my DSLRs built in light meter and found it to be spot on in about 95% if the situations I tested. The last 5% was likely user error ;) anyways its a nicely laid out functional pocket light meter and I recommend it!

I use this app anytime Im out with one of my meterless cameras, and even when I have a modern camera on me. Ive used it in all conditions, including studio conditions, and it seems very accurate. Nice ergonomics - very quick to read. Infinitely superior to apps that only give one to three combinations at a time. Nice work.

Ive tried a few of these apps and this Light meter wheel is the most intuitive. Totally worth it.

Some bad moments

Great job Dave. I really like how everything is right in front of you and adjustable based on the available light. You can even change the settings depending on the equipment you have. I have been looking for something like this for a while now. Saved few hundred dollars by not spending money on actual light meter. Thank you.

Ive tried many light meter apps, and this one is by far the best. Keep up the good work!!

I bought this app because i have a camera with several lenses and I wanted to know when each lens would be usable without pulling up my camera. It works well for that purpose but you do have to have some understanding of photography and understanding of how lenses work to use it that way. If you have that and you dont mind carrying your iphone or iPad around wherever youre shooting it works.

This is an awesome option for anyone looking for a Light Meter it is very accurate when compared side-by-side with a $300+ option. Great work

I love this app. It is accurate and when needed for some situations, like shooting on snow, the meter can be biased to account for that condition. Used in conjunction with a gray card this is super handy, also you can see all the exposure combinations to aid in the decision making process.

Great app, does all as advertised. I really like the simplicity and a lack of arbitrary limits to shutter speeds or apertures. No more getting a reading and then calculating beyond meter limits. Great for long exposures, and great for pinhole photography too as tiny apertures are supported too (all the way down to f/1024). Thanks for a great simple powerful app!
