This looks like it only caters to FF only and not crop sensor cameras as well. Also if you know what youre using and what you have you shouldn't need an app to show.

David KutcherI'd say only a photographer would want/need that, but then only if they're not experienced enough to know instinctively which lens does what.
As for the price, app developers only price things that high when they are targeting a pro market. Not sure how that works out for them, I only recall a couple examples of $20+ apps, and can't really remember what they were

Kevin Anthony disagree, it's a hipster app. A pro worried about photos from their iPhone? And using an app rather than their knowledge an intuition?

Totally hipster.

David Kutcher Like I said, a photographer not experienced enough to know instinctively which lens does what. I don't think it's intended for taking pictures with the phone, it's intended as a reference to see how different SLR lenses will frame up the shot.

I have to agree with the Kevin Anthony on this. Supposedly real pros know what their lenses will do.

Now that I think about it, I could see it being useful for scouting locations without hauling your gear around, or maybe to show clients some options without changing lenses or letting them get their clienty fingers on your camera. In fact that's probably the best use for it.
Edit: I'm thinking from a video production point of view, where snaps from a location scout might end up in a storyboard.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
