## Description

Incident metering with a paper diffuser. Plus per-camera profiles: viewfinder, aperture, shutter and ISO.

LuMe is a pro-grade light meter and exposure calculator built for film photographers. Whether you're shooting medium format on a Mamiya, large format on a 4×5, or 35mm on a Leica, LuMe gives you the exposure intelligence your film camera doesn't have.

METERING MODES FOR EVERY SITUATION
• Matrix — averages the whole scene for balanced exposures
• Center-weighted — emphasizes the middle, like a classic SLR meter
• Spot — measures a small area you tap, just like a 1° spot meter
• Zone System — Ansel Adams' tonal mapping (Zones I–IX) right in your viewfinder

MULTI-POINT SPOT METERING
Place up to four spot markers anywhere on your scene. Read each EV at a glance, evaluate contrast range, and place tones with intention.

LIDAR SPOT DISTANCE (on Pro devices)
See the physical distance to any metered spot — useful for hyperfocal setup and verifying focus on rangefinders and manual-focus lenses.

RECIPROCITY CORRECTION FOR EVERY FILM STOCK
Long exposures don't behave linearly on film. LuMe applies the Schwarzschild exponent for your stock — Tri-X, TMax, Portra, Ektar, Velvia, and more — so you don't need printed tables in your bag.

DEPTH OF FIELD CALCULATOR
Hyperfocal distance, near limit, far limit — for 35mm, APS-C, medium format (6×4.5, 6×6, 6×7), and large format (4×5). One tap.

FLASH GUIDE NUMBER CALCULATOR
GN, distance, power fraction → f-stop. Solved.

LIVE EXPOSURE TOOLS
• Histogram overlay
• Highlight/shadow clipping warnings
• ND filter compensation
• Aperture priority & shutter priority
• Exposure compensation dial
• ISO and shutter range constraints (cap at your film speed)

BUILT FOR THE WAY FILM PHOTOGRAPHERS ACTUALLY SHOOT
• Spot meter a high-contrast scene; place highlights on Zone VII
• Apply reciprocity for a 30-second exposure on Tri-X
• Calculate hyperfocal for landscape work on Portra 400
• Verify a flash setup before burning a frame

LuMe replaces your handheld meter, reciprocity card, DoF chart, and flash calculator with one tool that fits in your camera bag.

Available in 16 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional).

LUME PRO
• $6.99 USD for lifetime access
