Film shooters juggling a separate light meter, a rangefinder, and a notebook full of reciprocity notes just got a reason to consolidate. Second View pulls LiDAR distance readout, parallax correction for viewfinder cameras, and film stock reciprocity data into a single iPhone app alongside the standard metering functions. The parallax correction alone is genuinely useful for anyone shooting a twin-lens reflex or rangefinder at close distances, where the gap between viewfinder and lens axis actually costs you frames. Not a tool for everyone, but if you're shooting medium format film on location and tired of doing reciprocity maths at dusk, this earns a spot on your home screen.
