Darkcloth

"A good photograph is knowing where to stand." — Ansel Adams

Darkcloth is a field viewfinder for technical and view cameras.

Use the phone camera to preview the frame before you set up the camera. Choose a film format and focal length, add rise, fall or shift, compare lenses, and check level.

It is meant for planning the photograph, not replacing the ground glass.

Included tools: • Framelines for 6×7, 4×5, 8×10 and custom formats • Multiple focal lengths at once for lens comparison • Rise/fall and shift preview over the live scene • Reflected-light meter with average and spot readings • Reciprocity correction for common film stocks, plus custom stocks • Roll and pitch level • Scheimpflug tilt visualiser with near/far depth-of-field readout

Darkcloth was made alongside the Fysh FTC-1, but it is not locked to that camera. It works with other technical-camera and view-camera workflows.
