Mark II Artist's Viewfinder for Positive User Reviews

Great tool for composing my imagesWorks perfectly to give me the perspectives I want before doing the dslr photos. Had a very good selection of 3rd party Keynes as well.Version: 5.0

IndispensableIf you’re a tripod shooter with large and heavy cameras or just want to find the right view, this is a great tool and matches virtually any format and provides an endless string of lens sizes. Where was this 30 years ago when I was lugging my Arca Swiss and Schneider 400 mm lens across the terrain?!.Version: 5.2.1

You don't really realise you need it until you've used itI've used this app for 8 years and it has always proven invaluable. I have configured dozens of different camera and lens combinations over the years, and this level of flexibility is amazing if you're the kind of person serious enough to want to use a viewfinder in the first place. And every few months, the app gets a big update that makes it even more useful..Version: 7.2

Great app for framing and previewingExcellent for framing shots for film making and photography 😌.Version: 6.11

Worth the price!While it may seem expensive, this is a fantastic way to scout/preview images. It keeps getting better thru great updates and enhancements. Whether for film or digital, highly recommended..Version: 6.3

Great AppAs someone who uses multiple formats, including an ULF format (8x20), I find it very useful. The customized capability was need for my ULF. It also helps that I can enter my lenses once and apply them to the applicable format. Well thought out and more capability than I need, but with all the capability I require. Thx.Version: 6.1

Full featured and updatedReally, really love this app. As a cinematographer, I, like everyone, used the most popular cinema viewfinder app for a few years. Eventually I got tired of its cumbersome and slow updates and went searching for a better app. And I'm happy to report this app is far superior. I use it daily and I think it's biggest feature is its speed and simplicity. It opens up faster than its competitor and I find myself getting the frame I need, choosing a lens, and putting my phone away quickly to frame up my real camera. Less time in the app means more time shooting. It's features also work well for the modern cinematographer. It's easy to load up multiple cameras or multiple capture formats. Shooting 2:1 aspect ratio on UHD Amira, but 2K for high speed plus black magic pocket and gopro c/d-cams? Easy! You can have all 4. Try setting that up in your other app..Version: 4.1

No brainerIndispensible! No need to use an expensive directors viewfinder, this does it all and then some. If you are using anything other than a point and shoot this will save you time and improve your photography..Version: 5.0

Fantastic app.Highly recommend it..Version: 6.1

Elegant and usefulFor many years I have tried to find a reasonably priced optical director’s viewfinder on the web, eBay, B&H Photo, etc. They are out there but you get what you pay for and if you want quality, versatility and accuracy, it’s expensive. Enter the Mark II Artist’s Viewfinder. With it’s elegant and easy interface and compatibility with the current iPhones and third party lenses it is the answer I have been looking for. And the price is right! Some may balk at a +$25 app, but even combined with the cost of associated iPhone cases and lens attachments, it is quite a bargain compared to the outrageously expensive optical versions. Third party lens and case makers have caught up with the iPhone 6 so “this is the one, Neo.” I have been using it for about a month now and am completely satisfied. Customer support is excellent. Highly recommended..Version: 4.1

WorkingEssential app.Version: 7.3

Excellent AppI really this app as it saves time in planning and capturing the shot..Version: 6.5

Excellent productDespite its high price, it's really useful for previsualing a subject when using a large format/medium format camera. Although there is some inaccuracy with the coverage (Toyo View 4A II), I was able to create a custom camera anyway. In combination with the app Reciprocity Timer, I can document a shot without writing notes on a piece of paper..Version: 4.0

Dramatically improves my picsI was a huge fan of the original viewfinder app but this new version blows it away. Being able to quickly pinpoint the best compositions and camera placements immediately allowed me to produce better images in less time. This is also my favorite scouting tool. I have all of my crops including 6x17 panoramics setup as different cameras so I can easily switch between them. Having easy access to all my lens and camera configurations avoids the hassle of switching lens as I work out the best composition. By using the ipro lens super wide lens with this app I have all of my glass covered. I know exactly which lens to pull out of the bag to get the shot. For a photographer shooting mainly prime glass this is a huge help. Tech support is fantastic as well which was a bonus. One if the best features is the WA lens correction which gives you a much better representation of the final image..Version: 3.1

Flip optionHandy app. It would also be useful to be able to flip the view horizontally and upside down, especially when using large and medium format finders..Version: 5.0

Indispensable ToolI am no professional photographer, although I strive to attain professional results. This app is so valuable to me when I'm scouting to help decide which focal length lenses I'll need. I can't live without this..Version: 4.3

Handy!I use a Leica M240 so prime lenses are a fixture. Handy for a quick look at composition. Removes a lot of guess work..Version: 4.2

Indispensable toolAbsolutely amazing way to set up shots. I have multiple cameras loaded with all their respective lenses. One quick location picture and I can see all the possible framings..Version: 6.7

IndispensableA highly customizable app that helps me select equipment and lenses before setting up the camera. Also useful when scouting locations to preplan shots..Version: 6.8

Worth every pennyAt first I balked at the $30 price. But it seemed to do exactly what I needed and the other reviews were good so I bought it. I am extremely impressed. I use it to scout for shooting locations. I can see what different cameras look like with different lenses. It captures gps data so I can find my way back carrying just the gear I need..Version: 6.5

IndispensableAs a landscape photographer this app is indispensable in helping me visualise the image without getting my camera out of the bag. Brilliant. Highly recommended.Version: 6.5

Nearly PerfectThis is exactly what we are looking for at our photography studio to allow the stylist to stage a product/setting prior to the photographers arrival, saving a lot of time. The only missing feature that would be a HUGE help is custom aspect ratios or a custom overlay so that we can visualize a clients crop requirements. Being able to see both the camera aspect ratio and an overlay of a custom crop size would be fantastic..Version: 4.0

Fantastic!This app just does exactly what I need to to. So easy to use, so customizable, so worth every penny!! You will not regret getting this app!!!.Version: 6.11

Great toolUse it for reference framing continuously, clients love it.Version: 6.1

Fully professional.This app has fully professional features, an excellent tasteful interface and seamless execution. I am one of those eclectic professional photographers who would otherwise spend a small fortune on optical viewfinders for vintage and contemporary cameras--and never really be satisfied. After this app, I have everything I ever wanted in a viewfinder, some very well-designed logging and session planning tools, and a camera function with frame lines, exposure lock and focus lock. Overall, this excellent professional app upgrades the standard iPhone camera for pro photographers, and needless to say I'm never buying an optical viewfinder again..Version: 4.1

Invaluable!This is simply my most useful, most used and most appreciated photography App. If you are looking for a great view finder App then you have found it! I use it to scout locations in advance - using my iphone or my mini ipad. Viewfinder covers all of my cameras and lenses. Clearly an enormous amount of effort is put into not only improving the App, but also into keeping it current as new Apple updates and camera equipment is released. The free user guide is also *****. This new release 4.3 is very much appreciated as I can now use my 6Plus for super-wide, which makes this App even more invaluable..Version: 4.3

Simply Invaluable!This a a must for any serious photographer. It does everything it claims and more. When I’m in the field, I use it many times per day. In addition to previsulization, it functions as a notebook for scouting potential shots. The gps function enables return to the precise location. I always use it to locate and set my initial tripod position. The map function could be enhanced with the addition of a direction indicator. Easier access to the time/date data would also be an improvement..Version: 6.11

Great time saving appThis app allows instant previsualization before trying lenses and setting up camera.Version: 7.2

FotographerAmazing app , very helpful.Version: 6.10

Love this appThis app is very useful, love it.Version: 5.0

Z-Cam E2-F6 is missingThis app is good but unfortunately don’t have any Z-cam flagship in its virtual camera setting. I hope they add this soon. Many filmmakers are using this cinema camera now..Version: 6.8

Limited I Phone 6+ SupportAppears to be a very useful app; however, support for the iPhone 6+ is woefully limited for wide-angle landscape photography. The required wide-angle converters are either not available for the iPhone 6+ or they are not compatible with protective 3rd party cases, sold for this phone (i.e. Olliclip 4 in 1)..Version: 4.1

The bestI have used this app for years scouting and planning photo shoots. Can also attest to the great product support. If you’re shooting film or medium format it’s a must have. Love how you can customise for just about anything including Xpan format. Simply the best. Highly recommend.Version: 7.3

Tool for Architectural PhotographersI am using the MIIAV with the ALPA ACAM converter and it really works providing me with a useful tool to scout projects adjusting my compositions by simulating to image to match each of my lenses and camera back combinations..Version: 3.1

Perfect companionWhen shooting with a large format view camera, it helps immensely to get scouting shots with my I phone & Artist's viewfinder Pro so I know exactly where to set up. Using Real Lens simulation makes the selection process even more precise..Version: 4.0
