설명

Are you a meticulous film photographer that prefers to record settings/locations for the film photos that you take? Are you looking for a simple and easy to use app for tracking and logging that information? Are you tired of the buggy, crash-prone, or convoluted photo logging apps currently available?

I happen to be all of those things. Which is why I developed MetaLog.

MetaLog is a simple yet powerful data logging utility for photographers who want to quickly record photo metadata for photo cataloging or EXIF tagging during post-processing. In addition to keeping track of the settings for each photo, MetaLog can also act as an equipment inventory for your gear.

Feature Highlights:

• See all of your added film rolls at a glance, including the number of frames added to each roll, as well as load/unload dates to show which rolls are still in use.
• Quickly log settings for each photo including date, lens, aperture, shutter speed, exposure compensation, as well as location coordinates, accessories, and notes about the shot.
• Intelligent pre-fill and filtering for dates, locations, and equipment, making adding new frames a snap.
• Easily manage multiple rolls loaded into multiple cameras simultaneously.
• Pinpoint photo locations with a simple and familiar pinch-and-zoom map interface.
• Export all logged data as convenient CSV files.
• Gear pages can record camera and lens models as well as serial numbers, allowing for a complete gear inventory that's handy for tracking and insurance.

Something missing

I can’t add the lens for my Fujifilm GS645 Professional Fujica 6x4.5 Medium Format Rangefinder folding camera.
Admittedly I can’t change lenses, but in your app I can’t add the lens at all.
Is this something you can fix?
It uses a Fujinon 75mm f3.4 fixed lens.

Please contact me via email and we’ll see if we can get this fixed.

UPDATE: User never contacted me for support. No idea if this issue is real or user error.

Absolutely the best app for shooting film

I’ve tried every single photo logging/EXIF app that I could run on my phone and this is hands-down the best option. Using this _will_ improve your photography, you’ll be able to learn what exposure you prefer with different film stocks and you can keep track of which lenses you use the most. I have a lot of gear and I switch cameras/lenses constantly, this allows me to very easily check what camera/lens/exposure/location a photo had, when I get the scans back six months later and can’t remember a thing. The developer added an option for CSV export and it’s great, I store it with the scans on my computer so I never lose the “EXIF” for a given roll.

A few suggestions: it would be nice to be able to individually specify 1/3, 1/2, or whole stops for exposure comp and shutter defaults per camera, and the same for lens aperture. I have some cameras that have exposure comp in 1/2 stops (Nikon FE, notably). Also, adding a “0” in the exposure comp presets would be nice.

Overall, I love this app. It’s easy to use, reliable, let’s me track many, many cameras and lenses, and has fields for all the relevant info a session could have. Well done.

Thanks so much for the kind words! Please note that adding a photo as part of the notes for each shot is a feature that has been planned since MetaLog's inception, and is currently in development. Keep an eye out for that in an upcoming release!

Great for data needs

My wife is a metadata analyst. She was jazzed when I told her about this app. Used it this weekend on a camping trip and it allowed me to keep great record of the shots I got.
I really like being able to take a reference photo for each frame. It would be awesome though if I could upload a reference photo instead. I’m using a light meter app that outputs an image with all the exposure data.
