Re: [Frameworks] Light meter apps

[Christopher Ball]

If you ever need to work outside in the cold, the only meter that will work
is the old Sekonic Studio, battery-less meter.  Phones are useless in cold.

Have tried a few. Currently trying myLightMeter Pro which is fun and
accurate enough for me so far. Got my 40 year old Sekonic, too. Right tool
at the right time.

Re: [Frameworks] Light meter apps

[Lisa Danker]

Hi Warren,

I have used the Pocket Light Meter app when I needed to shoot something and
didn't have another meter. I took readings from a gray piece of cardboard
to try to get something closer to an incident reading, since the apps, as
far as I understand, only give reflective values. The results were good,
and I'd do that again if necessary but would opt for an incident/spot
combination or just incident meter when possible.

Re: [Frameworks] Light meter apps

[Jesse Lerner]

I've been using a free ap called Pocket Light Meter for a couple years now,
and it too seems very accurate.  I've compared the readings with a much
more expensive Sekonic meter and they are virtually identical.

Re: [Frameworks] Light meter apps

[Julian Antos]

I've been very happy with CineMeter.

I calibrate it against a Sekonic analog meter and it's shockingly accurate.
Though I would never show up on a set with it, it's very handy for shooting
home movies on the fly. There's also less of a learning curve than with an
analog meter, which to be honest is probably a bad thing in the long run!

[Frameworks] Light meter apps

[Warren Cockerham]

Hey workers of the frame...

I’m curious how many folks are using light meters on their phone as primary or 
secondary meters in lieu of the trusty analog meters. If so, care to share 
which apps? 

thanks a bunch,
