Simple 50mm Camera

Simple 50mm Camera is a beautiful and functional camera app for iPhone and iPad. This app comes equipped only with the essential features common to cameras of the past: shutter button, flash, self-timer, and viewfinder grid. Its fixed focal length of 50mm along with its stripped down features enable the user to focus on the important aspects of photography. With its inherent simplicity and uniform focal length, this app is engineered to feel like the retro single lens reflex cameras of the past. Inarguably, the standard ‘kit’ lens mounted to these historical small format cameras were 50mm focal length and 1.8 aperture ratio. Locking the modern iPhone camera into a 50mm format fosters the creation of simple and beautiful exposures by both amateur and professional photographers!
