Classic Camera Revival Alex Luyckx

When it comes to photography, there's always something extra you can get, and often these accessories are also the key to getting you things from here to there, getting the shot how you visualise it, nailing that exposure, keeping camera shake down, and all that other jazz. So the whole gang is here today to discuss everything from filters to camera bags, backpacks, straps, light meters and cable releases. Today's show discusses Think Tank, Peak Design, Domke, Lowepro, MEC, Sekonic, Tiffen, Reveni Labs, Lasolite, and many more.

Today Jess and Chris sit down with renowned mid-west large format photographer Sarah Stellino. Topics include portraiture, farm work, parenthood, and being queer within the wider photography community. And, of course, a deep dive into working with large format cameras and portrait work. And a special thanks to Taylor (IG: instagram.com/taylarlar) for taking the stunning portrait of Sarah used in the banner image for the episode.

Everyone's photographic journey is different, but they all move around in strange and unique ways. Sometimes a new medium makes a new path clear, or you could be looping backing to rediscover an old favourite technique, medium, style or piece of kit. No matter how your journey takes you, it is your own, so on today's episode, James and Jess welcome Alex Jahr, Jamie Marcellus, and Ted Smith!

It's been a long time since we've had a show where we shouted into the void, so we're shouting again and going on about some of the stranger decisions of the photographic industry has taken throughout their histories. We will avoid some of the more recent news coming out of Kodak Alaris, but we will dig into some of the more interesting historical choices of companies. Join John, Bill, Jess, Alex & James as we cover things from 620 Film, 828 Film, the Mamiya Universal, strange lenses, and early tech that didn't work out or last as long as people thought! This episode also marks the final episode for our long-time co-host John Meadows. He has been a stalwart of our team since our first episode and our tireless sound engineer and editor. This is, of course, not goodbye, as he will be returning on occasion.

Matt from ReveniLabs joins Alex for an update on the latest from ReveniLabs! And things have been busy since the release of the brilliant spot meter. This time Matt is pushing a new incident and reflective meter that is unique in the sense that it is designed to slip over your fingers. It looks like a knuckleduster. The meter is designed to take both incident and reflective meter readings. It also can do flash metering, calculate flash power, and take the colour temperature. All readings are displayed on a small screen and controlled with a four-way joystick. The device is clean and well designed and fits in hand. Matt has also created a home multi-tank automated film developing system named DUNKBOT. This can run through multiple chemical tanks, complete agitation, heating, filling, and program in your favourite methods. Perfect for black & white along with colour development. If this interests you, why not head to Kickstarter and support the Dunkbot! And finally, a smaller device to help pull your film negatives into your print files without them binding or sticking.
