Rollvane
Sunny-16 film roll log
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Rollvane is a calm, single-purpose exposure helper and roll log for film photographers. Pick a lighting condition, pick your film ISO, and Rollvane gives you the correct aperture and shutter pairs straight from Sunny-16. Then log every frame as you shoot it so the roll comes back from the lab with notes that actually mean something.
WHY ROLLVANE
- The Sunny-16 rule is the simplest light meter in the world, but it lives in your head and not on your phone. Rollvane prints the answer in big numbers.
- Picking the wrong shutter for the wrong ISO is why so many handheld frames blur or get muddy in the highlights. Rollvane keeps you on a known-good pair.
- A roll comes back six months later and you have no idea what you shot. Rollvane logs subject, aperture, shutter, condition, and push/pull per frame.
WHAT YOU GET
- Five lighting conditions: Bright Sun, Hazy, Cloudy Bright, Open Shade, Heavy Overcast - each mapped to the Sunny-16 reference aperture.
- Seven film speeds: 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200.
- Equivalent pair grid: for any condition + ISO, see every valid aperture+shutter combo from f/1.4 to f/22 across 1/15 to 1/2000.
- A standalone Exposure Helper tab for quick lookups when you don't want to start a roll.
- A 36-frame visual grid per roll. Empty frame? Tap +. Already exposed? Tap to review.
- Per-frame metadata: condition, aperture, shutter, ISO, push/pull EV, subject, notes.
- Push/pull tracking so you can mark "+1 stop" on a frame for development time.
- Mark a roll Finished, Re-open it, or delete it. Active and Archived sections keep your workflow clean.
