New iphone app for shooters!

The Artemis Director’s Viewfinder, made by: Chemical Wedding, is a relatively new iphone app. Priced at 30 bucks, this is the most expensive app I have invested in, however it’s a wonderful tool for shooting. 

In my opinion, it replaces the traditional director’s viewfinder with a much more accurate/versatile digital viewfinder.

The app comes pre-installed with an array of different cameras (film/digital), sensor sizes, aspect ratios, and lenses. Choose your favorite DSLR camera, lenses and multiple focal lengths. Select a particular focal length and toggle between fullscreen and overlay views. Use your DSLR loupe for more clarity and to keep glare off your screen, and once satisfied, save a photo with detailed information of individual shots!

Seeing that traditional viewfinders start around $300 and go up from there, 30 bucks starts to sound pretty swell, since I already have a DSLR, iphone and loupe. : )

  1. I agree, an impressive app. You convinced me to buy it! As long as you're indoors, it works fine without the loupe to shield the light from the iphone.
