Exif4Film - Android App

(Okay, firstly I'm not too sure if this is the correct place to post this, since this app would be beneficial to anyone into film photography and not just rangefinder users, but I don't see a consolidated forum for film photographers. Mod pls move if necessary.)
I found this Android app that I'm using as a note-taking app for film exposures. Traditional this used to be done by pen and paper, but let us embrace technology :love1: The following is a summary from the developer's original Flickr post:

Being a film photographer, I've been doing some hacks to save the EXIF data from exposures. Mostly it was plain text on paper notebook during the shoot and then manual attribute inputting using some desktop EXIF tool when the scans were ready. That wasn't so practical, I got tired and decided to code my own solution.

So, I've created a free Android app for recording the EXIF data while taking pictures. I've also coded a desktop utility (or optionally Adobe® Lightroom® plug-in) that takes the data from the Android app and saves it on scans, so the process is automated.

You can save following EXIF data:
* Aperture, shutter speed, focal length.
* Lens, camera details.
* Film information, push/pull.
* Location, time.
* Complementary camera picture.
* Note, metering mode, light source.

There are also other handy features, such as grouping exposures by rolls, or the built-in films database (~100 brands) (you can add your own types/brands). Also, you can add your cameras and lenses and use their params on rolls/exposures; view the exposures on map. Additionally, there's an experimental import/export of recorded gear or films, so you could share your own created entities with friends.

The app can be downloaded here. Hopefully you guys would find this useful as well

Great idea! Strangely, I can remember the f-stop and shutter speed setting for almost every photo when I'm on full manual.

Downloaded this app. The light meter on iPhone is pretty accurate, hope this will work just as well

Woah now that's some good memory, I don't even remember what I've taken on my roll. I don't have an iPhone so I can't download that app though

do you mean the android app can replace this? :bsmilie:
