Are there any apps in the app store that work as a light meter? I have an old film camera that doesn't have a light meter, and it would be awesome if there were an app that I could put in an ISO and shutter speed and it gave me an aperture to get correct exposure.

One app I found was Exposure Calc, but I didn't know if it was any good and didn't want to spend the money if it didn't even work. Anyone use it? Anyone know of a better app for what I want to do?
 
I know this was an older thread, but it may still be interesting for someone.

If you own an iPhone 3G-S, there is an App in the AppStore now. It's simply called LightMeter (from the developers of PhotoBuddy) and was released just recently.
 
I don't get why it is only going to work with the iPhone 3GS, but I would question how accurate it can be. I'd love to try it but I am not using a 3GS.

Someone posted a review that they use it and they're a camera repair tech. I question if it really is that good.
 
it only works for the 3gs because of how the new camera works, and its ability to be used as a video camera too.
 
i just bought this app since this is the only lightmeter app in the store..not quite sure how to use it. any photographers in here that also bought this? review shows that its somewhat accurate.
