Pocket Light Meter

A reflected-light meter with reciprocity calculations for manual film photography.

Our take

Consider it for supplementary exposure planning.

It combines a phone-based reading with a film-relevant calculation tool.

Keep in mind: Accuracy depends on device, scene and calibration; it is not an incident-light meter or a tested replacement for dedicated equipment.

What you can do

  • Measure reflected scene light
  • Calculate reciprocity-related exposure adjustments

Good for

  • Film photographers checking manual-camera exposures.

Consider alternatives for

  • Users requiring calibrated incident-light or studio flash measurement.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.6.
  • Accuracy depends on device, scene and calibration; it is not an incident-light meter or a tested replacement for dedicated equipment.

Privacy & permissions
