8mm Vintage Camera4.6 - App Store

8mm is so realistic it was even used to film scenes in the Oscar-winning documentary Searching for Sugar Man!

We have established the de facto standard of real-time retro film emulation. It was featured by Apple in App of the Day, App of the Week, In the Director's Chair, App Store Essentials, etc.

8mm Vintage Camera captures the beauty and magic of old-school vintage movies right through your viewfinder. Dust and scratches, retro colors, flickering, light leaks, and even frame shake, all can be instantly added with a single tap of the finger.
