Second View 1.2 is out. Build your own control panel, freeze the frame and a lot more.

Most of it came from user feedback, a lot of it from large format shooters.

WORKSPACES: arrange the controls you use, per kit, switch with a swipe.
FREEZE MODE: hold a still and compose rise and shift, spot meter, measure distance, without the scene moving.
CUSTOM FILM STOCKS: your own stocks, your own reciprocity curve, plus an ECN-2 category.
BELLOWS COMPENSATION: close-focus light loss folded into the reading, by distance or by extension.
And more !

Not a camera app. It does not take your photos. It shows you the shot before you spend the frame.

iPhone and Android, link in bio.

4 new improvements for my custom technical camera.

1️⃣ New Copal / Compur 0 lens board. First, an infinity lens board (fixed focus), with an optional spacer to focus at the hyperfocal . When I receive my helicoid mount to focus, I will make an M39 version of the lens board.

2️⃣ A much stronger Arca plate with an additional bubble level.

3️⃣ The 1/4 support is shifted to the left to avoid interfering with the RB67 back when it is in portrait position. I also made a version of the support specifically for the SmallRig cold shoe to keep it straight.

4️⃣ Ground glass much brighter thanks to a low-cost Fresnel lens (thanks to for the tips)

New specs of the camera:
* Back: Graflok 23 (Mamiya RB67, Horseman, etc.)
* Formats: 645, 6x6, 6x7, 6x8, 6x9
* Lens board:
* Mamiya Press
* Copal / Compur 0
* Rise / Fall: ±20mm
* Left / Right shift: ±20mm

Three versions and hundreds of iterations later, here’s my 3D printed technical camera.

For the v4, I started from scratch: fewer unique parts, a design as symmetrical as possible, and still one more movement. On top of rise and fall, it now has left and right shift.

Specs:
* Back: Graflok 23 (Mamiya RB67, Horseman, etc.)
* Formats: 645, 6x6, 6x7, 6x8, 6x9
* Lens: Mamiya Press (Copal 0 soon)
* Rise / Fall: ±20mm
* Left / Right shift: ±20mm

Now I need your help with distribution: sell the files, or sell it assembled and tested? I honestly don’t know yet.

The most complete light meter app 📲 Here’s how to meter with Second View.

Here’s the full metering workflow:
🎞️ Set your ISO by hand or just pick a film stock, the meter follows
🌐 Global meter for the whole scene, reads continuously from the preview
🎯 Spot meter by tapping anywhere on screen, long-press to jump back to global
🔆 Add ND, CPL or any filter and the speed compensates automatically. Stack as many as you want
⚙️ Show shutter speed or EV, your call in the settings
⏱️ Going long? The reciprocity correction is built in for 60+ film stocks, so your metered time is the real time
🎚️ Calibrate against a white wall or your own reference meter for spot-on readings

Everything a handheld meter does, plus the framing and the math, in the device already in your pocket.

📲 Download Second View on the App Store.

How to shoot film without a light meter and a ground glass?

📲 Second View v1.1 is here.

I’m testing it on the new NNC67 V3.1 with Kodak Tri-X, but it works with any setup.

Here’s what it does in the field:

📐 See exactly what your camera will capture, in the right aspect ratio. Every film format covered!
🎯 Spot meter by tapping anywhere on the preview
↕️ Shift & rise to simulate view camera movements in real time
⏱️ Long exposure timer that does the reciprocity math for you across 60+ film stocks
🧩 Panoramic stitching. Plan multi-shot panos with shifted plates and see how they’ll line up
🎞️ Log your whole roll so you never lose track of a shot
🫧 Bubble level and grid to get your camera dead straight
✅ Pre-shot checklist so you never forget the dark slide again

The proof? Second View preview vs the actual lab scan, portrait and landscape, at the end of the video.

📲 Download Second View on the App Store.
