Description

Manage your film photography from start to finish! 
Initial purchase allows you to calculate reciprocity for all the films included by selecting an observed exposure time. This non-pro version is suitable for people who just need to calculate an exposure that includes reciprocity adjustments for their selected film. It will suit many users who don't require note keeping or a camera database etc. It's most suitable if you are new to film.
More advanced users will want to upgrade after their initial purchase to the pro version.
This will unlock all the additional features of the Note and Camera database as well as custom films and filters.
There is no need to upgrade if you just want to calculate and time reciprocity for a particular film and you always use the same camera.
The app includes in-app purchase to unlock pro features including a note-keeping feature, the ability to add custom films and the ability to select often used film stock as favorites.
Once you upgrade then the one app does it all - notes, filters, exposure calculations, custom films, zone system editor, film holder management as well as the reciprocity math!
A comprehensive film reciprocity calculator for photographers. Select a film type and metered exposure time - the calculator will provide a reciprocity compensated exposure time. The app includes an exposure timer so you can time your long exposures. You can also use a slider to adjust exposure when you have filters attached.
The app supports a wide range of film stocks and allows the user to add various common exposure filters such as NDs and Polarizers.
Keep detailed notes and share them. Share your adjusted exposure times with colleagues.
This app makes film photography a breeze.

You may need to setup Reciprocity Timer in Settings -> Notification Center to ensure the app's timer can notify you when exposures are ending and your device is asleep.

Watch companion app now included. To install the app use the Apple Watch App on your phone. Ensure your watch and phone are paired an unlocked and scroll down the list of available apps to Reciprocity Timer. Select Install. You can also turn on "Automatically Install Apps".

Still gives incorrect data

Months after previous reviews have pointed out the Ilford data is incorrect, unbelievably the app is still giving wrong results. Utter garbage.

Useful, to a point

I really want to love this app, and to be fair it is very useful for the reciprocity charts! I've not found anything else out there that has the same range of films, and it's fairly easy to use (I can't vouch for accuracy in all the charts). Where the app really let's itself down is in the timer.

It should be a fairly straightforward thing, but shooting long exposures takes, well, a long time. If you leave the app to take a call or whatever, then the timer stops! You have to actually have the app active for the whole time. To be honest, I just use the app to calculate the exposure time and then use the timer in the standard iPhone app, which works just fine, but is slightly more faff than is necessary. It's a shame, because without this (fairly fundamental) flaw it would be an easy four or five stars!

I've been waiting for someone to do just this!

The premise of this app is great, and something I've been hoping someone would do for a while. The layout and operation is clean and simple.

I use mostly Fuji Velvia 50 and Ilford Delta and HP5, so my comments here are restricted to these two films.

For Velvia the values given here correspond to what I know from elsewhere (unfiltered - I don't use the filtered scale, which I presume is for Velvia's supposed magenta colour casts).

However, I'm unconvinced by the Ilford values given, which don't specify a particular type of film or ISO speed and are certainly not the values that Ilford give for HP5 (I haven't had time to check the Delta values with the values this app gives). I can't comment on the other film types that I only rarely use.

It would be nice if there was some kind of in-app info on the sources/calculations, and I look forward to more films being added (which the developer says they will do). Clarity regarding the Ilford issue will emerge in updates, I'm sure.

In the meantime, I wholeheartedly recommend this, but do check the values given here for your film type against what you already know before relying on it for critical shots.
