  • In a world of new latest a greatest! How refreshing!

    Mike,

    I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed listening to you and the gang in your podcast. I am a pro photographer and have been one for over 30 years. In the last several years I’ve enjoyed adapting old manual focus lenses to my Fuji mirrorless cameras. I like looking at old film cameras but don’t really have the urge to shoot film anymore. I make my living with digital but I still like to slow down and play with old manual lenses. I do a lot of traveling for my job and spend a lot of t... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 89: Camera Cleaning, Maintenance, and Repairs
Q: How can I deal with battery corrosion in my camera?
To clean corrosion off battery contacts, use white vinegar to neutralize the alkaline build-up, followed by a rinse with water to ensure there's no remaining acidity.
Episode 89: Camera Cleaning, Maintenance, and Repairs
Q: What should I do if my camera is having shutter issues?
If your camera's shutter speeds are accurate at high speeds but not at low ones, it may just need cleaning. If the shutter is failing at multiple speeds, it could be a deeper issue requiring professional repair.
Episode 86: Adapting Vintage Lenses
Q: Can you explain at a high level flange distance and how that's going to impact focusing to infinity?
Flange distance refers to the distance between the lens mount and the imaging plane. If you have a lens that is designed for a different camera mount, using an improper adapter can mean the lens may not focus correctly to infinity, leading to a situation where you can only get close-up focus.
Episode 79: Medium Format SLRs
Q: How do you feel about the versatility of the RZ compared to the RB?
The RZ67 is lighter and more electromechanical, making it easier to use for fast photography, but both have specific strengths.
Episode 66: Ask Us Anything
Q: What camera was the first one you acquired or were given?
The first camera was a Kodak number one junior folding autographic, and the second was a Nikon EL2.
