Light Meter Ultra

I just wanted to start off by saying this is probably one of the best Light Meter apps I’ve used, the layout is perfect and I can change my settings with one hand. the meter readings are accurate and I use this app to test every camera that I own. This is my go to spot meter.

These light meter apps are basically accessing the abilities of your built-in camera and feeding the info to you. Apple would probably add this for free if there was enough demand, but most people using an iPhone have no need for an old film camera. In earlier days a clever programmer who was also a traditional photographer would build this app on their hobby time and give it away. Today, we’re conditioned to eternally subscribe to everything, owning nothing and being forever in debt. Yeah, that’s a screed that’s probably overblown for this innocuous app, and yet the pricing on this app is such an excellent example of how genuinely insane we’ve become. Happy shooting.

This app is simple for me to understand and I love that I can see both the average metering and the spot metering at the same time. Other apps I tried had so many buttons or sections that I could fumble around and miss a shot. This app never lets me down. I’ve entered my camera + the film stocks I have and it’s so easy to choose the film and get going. 💪
