Preview of ClassicTOY’s New Scarlet Film
misskiwi’s ClassicCAMERA apps long been a favorite of iPhoneographers. Throughout all of the ClassicCAM apps, the quality of the filters is great. They are accurate renditions of the retro lenses and films they recreate.
Recently on the Classic Camera Facebook page, misskiwi shared a preview of the exciting new film “Scarlet” and the new lens “”Squara” for ClassicTOY.

“I’ve tried to reproduce old RF [RangeFinder] lenses (such as the old Summicron). Here’s a new film for ClassicTOY ver.6.2.0. Scarlet!” You can read more about the old Leica Summicron lenses here.
The Squara lens brings in-app square format photography to ClassicTOY, preserving the vignettes and other effects that would be lost by cropping a full-frame image. I really love the new Scarlet film, especially the light leaks and chromatic distortions.
In addition, the Squara Lens is part of ClassicTOY’s standard equipment and is free. These two new features should be part of the upcoming ClassicTOY 6.2.0 update.
ClassicTOY is a free download, but I highly recommend the $1.99 Full Lens Pak available as an in-app purchase.

Thanks for this heads-up, Marty.
ClassicTOY is a terrific app that doesn't seem to get as much attention as it deserves, overshadowed by the colossus that is Hipstamatic (which I love, as you do) and Instagram, which I personally find no use for (in its present form, at least). My favorite setting right now is Original #1 / Overdrive / Grunge, which does amazing things with the Maine winter landscape.
Hi Marty. Thanks for the heads up on this. Love this app and don’t use it anywhere nearly as much as I should. Will have to rectify that.
Square format for classicTOY? That's incredible news! I agree with Richard Grant that ClassicToy deserves much more acclaim than it seems to get, it's a fantastic app.
