Looking After Your Camera, Lenses and Other Tools (Podcast 788)

Keeping our gear healthy in challenging conditions requires a little love and attention, and there are some precautions to prevent condensation.

A quick episode today to update my review of the OBSBOT Tiny 4K Remote Control and a video to share details of my latest iOS app PhotoClock Pro.

Are prime lenses always better than zooms? You need to make that decision for yourself based on your own needs, and tests if necessary.

I’ve started to take Canon’s new RF 100mm Macro lens through its paces, and today share my thoughts on this great new addition to my camera bag.

Today I share details of the adjustable arm stands that I’ve bought for my iMac and second display, and all of the positioning options this opens up.

Occasionally I find things that once I own, I can’t imagine being without, so today I share five devices that make what we do that little bit easier.

This week I selected my favorite ten images shot with the Canon EF 100-400mm Mark II lens, as a tribute to a wonderful piece of engineering I let go.

Having used the Canon EOS R5 for a week now, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that it’s the best camera that Canon has ever made, period.

A comparison of 3 ProGrade Digital CFexpress Type B cards with speed tests and a very respectable SDXC card dropped into the mix for good measure.

Canon’s imminent release of the EOS R5 is exciting, and a catalyst for more gear changes for me in a short space of time than ever before.

In this post, I walk you through the process of setting up a CanoScan 9000F MkII Scanner for high-resolution scanning of 120 format film.

In this post, I share some of the main features of my new Rolleiflex 3.5F TLR camera, and some of the accessories I’ve been able to source so far.
