Apps & Tools
FinderView and useful calculators for practical film photography
Classical Eye uses this section for tools that solve real photographic problems. FinderView is the main product, and the same area can support large-format references, lens calculators, bellows tools, pinhole helpers, and other practical utilities.
FinderView
An Android tool for framing and field decisions
FinderView is an Android app that turns a smartphone into a viewfinder, exposure meter, and practical field tool for film photographers. It supports framing for formats such as 35mm, 120, 4x5, and other sheet film formats, while also covering metering, lenses, and related photographic calculations.
Calculators and references
Tools that support large-format practice
This section is a natural home for tools covering bellows extension, depth of field, hyperfocal distance, lens coverage, pinhole work, film formats, and other practical reference tasks.
Beyond the app
Tool pages linked to useful articles
Each tool can sit alongside clear explanatory writing, so a calculator or reference page is supported by articles on large-format technique, lens use, bellows making, or camera setup rather than left without context.
Long-term fit
Built for practical expansion
The goal is not a crowded catalogue. It is a focused set of utilities that genuinely help film photographers plan, measure, frame, meter, and build more effectively.
