## Description

"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.

No account is required. No photos are uploaded.
