A pocketable calculator for reciprocity failure, stacked filters, bellows extension, exposure index, and format-aware depth of field.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-15 issue.

Field notes

The calculator follows a photographer's exposure chain rather than reducing everything to a single number: EI and filter density come first, bellows extension follows, and reciprocity correction can be toggled separately. Its stock list includes HP5, Tri-X, Acros II, Portra, Ektar, Cinestill 800T, Velvia, and Provia, with format choices from 35mm through 8×10. The page also describes local storage, saved setups, and shareable text or image cards.
