This camera app is phenomenal. I have been using this app for 2-3 days now and I have been amazed with the quality of photos it produced. You can import your own LUT or make your own filter in-app. I wish the 1x was a 50mm equivalent and to have other aspect ratio as well.

In an age where digital and analog photography cameras and apps are constantly competing to prove which is best, along comes Lumencam a meticulously and carefully designed and thoughtfully crafted app that brings the best of both worlds into your hands and onto your mobile device. The developers have created a tool that makes it incredibly easy to achieve the photographic vision you have in mind. I can’t hardly believe this is only version 2.1 considering how polished and capable it already is. This is definitely a must have app for photographers of any skill level. Kudos to the team behind such an outstanding product! I’m to see how Lumencam continues to evolve and bring more joy to our photography journey.
