In today's episode, we are happy to welcome Kelsey Smith to the podcast.

So please tune in and hear about Kelsey's journey and his application of Psychology & Sociology in their photography.

Classic Camera Revival - Episode 153 - Don’t Drink the Rodinal - Part 4

It has been a while since we last visited the topic of film developers. So in today's episode Alex sits down to talk about some of the more exoctic developers that have poured their way through his chemistry kit recently. These include a lovely elevated general purpose developer in Fotospeed FD10, a couple of high-contrast developers with Kodak D-19 and Fomadon LQR. Then Rodinal's cousin, R09 Spezial, and even a colour developing kit, the FPP Super Colour Negative ECN-2 kit. Alex also digs into how he tests and reviews film developers, and it isn't that scientific, and you know that's okay!

Classic Camera Revival - Episode 152 - Accessorise This!

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.

Classic Camera Revival - Episode 148 - What Were They Thinking?!?

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.

Classic Camera Revival - Episode 147 - An Update from the Lab

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.
