A precision light meter for film — reflected and spot metering, exposure lock, reciprocity and ND, plus a roll logbook that remembers every frame.
Stops is a light meter built for film photographers — fast, accurate, and honest about what it measures.
Point your iPhone at the scene and read the exposure the way a dedicated meter would: a clean instrument dial, the full shutter / aperture / ISO triad, and an EV readout you can trust. The reflected, averaged meter is free, forever — no trial timer, no paywall on the one thing a light meter is supposed to do.
Go further with Stops Pro (one-time purchase, no subscription):
- Spot metering — tap any detail to meter a 5% area
- Exposure lock — hold a reading while you recompose
- Roll logbook — note every frame, then export the roll as a PDF
- Reciprocity — long-exposure correction with a per-film curve
- ND calculator — dial in any filter and read the corrected time
- Sunny 16 — a quick daylight sanity check, free forever
- Film profiles — push/pull and reciprocity, saved under your own names
Built for how film actually works:
- Aperture or shutter priority, your choice
- Third-stop precision, snapped to real f-stops and shutter speeds
- Calibration offset to match your meter or your camera
- Made for 35mm and medium format alike
Private by design: Stops reads light through the camera live. Nothing is photographed, stored, or sent — ever.
No account. No ads. No subscription. Just a meter that respects your film and your time.
