Crown + Flint now supports lens filters!
* Manage your filter collection
Do you have a large collection of filters? Trouble remembering which filters fit to which lenses? Crown + Flint has you covered. Now you can add details of all your filters to the equipment database, including lens compatibility via step-up rings. Crown + Flint will remind you which filters are compatible with each of your lenses.
* Accurate metering when using lens filters
Each filter you use reduces the amount of light hitting your film. In the past, Crown + Flint couldn't know that, unless you removed the filter, and placed it in from of your phone's camera. Now, Crown + Flint will automatically adjust the light meter to accommodate loss from your filters.
* Lens filters in your metadata
And of course, with metadata collection being at the heart of Crown + Flint, your frames now have a record of which filters you used to capture your images, so you can learn how different films and filters interact with each other, and improve your craft.

• New and improved auto-suggest for camera and film manufacturers. No more slow-downs!
• Once a roll is done, you probably like to look at each shot you took. Previously, this was super tedious. Now you can swipe through each shot.
• You may have noticed that it wasn't previously possible to edit a frame's geolocation. Now it is possible to add, edit, or remove the geolocation for each frame.
• Editing apertures and shutter speeds in your cameras and lenses was overly complicated, and the codebase would make a lot of weird mistakes.
• It’s now possible to add cameras with only full-auto settings, or a single fixed shutter speed or aperture.
• Sometimes even though you’ve granted permission to track your location, we couldn’t get it from the system and would unceremoniously crash.
• If you created a new location to store your film, and moved it to the top of the list, it would get forgotten.
• Date range filters would exclude films on the last day of the range.
• If you tried to sort your films by last shot date, but there was a film with no shots on it, we would crash, and then refuse to start up ever again.
• It used to be possible to add a camera and lens combination that had no shutter between the two. At least one has to have a shutter! This is better enforced.
• Sometimes taking a reference picture would fail spectacularly. Now it fails more silently.
