New Mark II Artist’s Viewfinder iPhone app simulates Leica rangefinder framelines

By LR admin | Published: February 20, 2014

The new Mark II Artist’s Viewfinder app is the successor of Viewfinder product line. The Mark II, sporting a completely redesigned main screen and operation paradigm, was rebuilt from the ground up to take advantage of new technologies available in iOS 7 and to create a platform for innovative new features. The new app is also the world’s first real-time distortion correction feature that eliminates the wide converter’s barrel distortion. The Mark II also leverages DIRE Studio’s precise simulation engine and extensive Viewfinder Camera Database, containing more than 400 still and motion picture cameras, 150 medium/large format backs and countless lenses including the whole Leica range. You can get more information about the Mark II Artist’s Viewfinder by visiting its microsite and on iTunes.
