  • We Shoot Mirrorless #26 | PPN | Micro Four Thirds is NOT DEAD

    Due to popular demand, we share our thought on claims that the M4/3 system is dead. Marco invited Scott Bourne back on the show to step on their virtual soapbox and discuss some of the claims about the demise of the M4/3 system now that so many new Full-Frame mirrorless camera systems have entered the market. And in the second half of the show, they cover some mirrorless news, a mirrorless listener question, and pick the mirrorless photographer and photo of the month.

    The claim "Micro Four-Thirds is dead, ranks pretty high on the clickbait charts these days, but there are plenty of facts and arguments that contradict these claims. For example, some people may see the introduction of the Full-Frame S1 camera system by Panasonic LUMIX as proof, that Panasonic will abandon their M4/3 camera system. While looking at Fuji and Sony who run two complete camera systems with different sensor sizes successfully next to each other, such a move can simply be seen as a move to grow market share catering to more photographers. Besides that, different sensor sizes do have certain advantages over the other and some of these are covered in this episode.

    Some cameras and lenses matching this conversation are:

    Hasselblad X1D II 50C

    Scott and Marco both tested the first iteration of Hasselblad's mirrorless FF camera about 3 years ago. The upgraded second version of this camera has improved in especially in the speed and usability department. A huge rear LCD and higher resolution EVF next to quicker start-up time and less blackout time between shots. Marco was also really impressed by the new USB-C option to tether the camera directly to your iPad Pro and run Hasselblad's Phocus 2 app as an instant preview and editing extension to your workflow. And another nice fact about the camera is that the price has been reduced considerably compared to the release price of the previous version.

    Hasselblad CFV II

    Scott and Marco have fond memories of working with their analog V500 Hasselblad systems. And now Hasselblad revives the system with the CFV II 50C digital back. It attaches to old analog V500 cameras and turns them into a digital medium format camera system. But with the addition of the new tiny 907X body, the CFV II tunes into a very compact medium format camera for the new Hasselblad XCD lens system. And conveniently, that setup allows for autofocus, too.

    Mirrorless question of the month:

    What're your views on attracting birds for photography? For me bating is out of the question but what about calling birds with your phone with an app is that acceptable?

  • Q&A #23 | PPN | How to deal with mixed light situations and the impact of lens diffraction on image quality

    How can you deal with mixed lighting situations in a location and avoid different color casts in your images? What is lens diffraction, when does it occur, and should you even worry about it? And an alternative to Photomechanics for quickly sorting through your images.

    Here are the questions that Marco answers in this episode:

    1. Hi Marco, I have been shooting my first events and weddings this year. I shoot in color and often with a flash. Most of the time the color and white balance on the subject is pretty spot on, but the background with artificial room light is sometimes completely off and looks distracting. How can I get more consistent results throughout the frame?

    1. Hi Marco, when shooting landscapes in bright conditions, I usually step down my wide-angle lenses really far for a maximum depth of field. For example, the Fujifilm wide-angle lenses go down to f/22. However, I've heard of a quality impairing effect called diffraction which sets in at small apertures. What is this? Should I use f/22 at all? If not, what is your recommendation for landscapes and what is the purpose of f/22 on a lens?

    Update regarding PPN Q&A #14 - Topic: Photomechanic

    Hi Marco. I very much enjoyed this episode, which was full of good, real-life advice on interesting topics. I have an additional suggestion for the question on workflow from Victor, in Dayton, Ohio. I do a lot of amateur wildlife and sports event photography, and even a full day's street shooting can generate hundreds of images to review. I have tried Photo Mechanic on a month's free offer, but I also tried the Faststone Image Viewer, which is free for amateur or educational use.

    Photo Mechanic does a range of extra things as you described in the show, but Faststone works in the same way by showing just the embedded jpeg extremely quickly and letting you move or copy the good images for later ingestion by your raw processor, and for my purposes this meant I could save the £170 cost of Photo Mechanic. One tip common to both programs: the embedded jpegs aren't very large files, so although they are both great for a quick scan to weed out poorly composed and exposed shots, I find critical sharpness needs checking in the full raw file, so only use them to chuck out obviously unsharp images. I hope that's useful, especially for non-professional listeners.

  • Camera and Inspiration #26 | PPN | Street Photography with a System - with Siegfried Hansen

    Street Photography with a System instead of lucky snapshots - interview with Siegfried Hansen.

    and

    COSYSPEED - The fastest camera bags in the world.

    http://bit.ly/STREETOMATIC

    For the "Street Photography with a System" episode, Marco invited Siegfried Hansen to the show. Siegfried was born in Northern Germany and picked up a camera to become a street photographer 20 years ago after visiting a photo exhibition by André Kertész.

    He developed a unique photography style that leads to many publications and exhibitions of his work all over the world. He has solo published two books and has contributed to at least 13 more book publications. He is also a member of the prestigious In-Public (now called UP Photographers) street photography collective and some may have seen him appear in the Sky Arte TV Show "Master of Photography" in 2017.

    He is also one of the co-founders of the German Street Photography site and the German Street Photography Festival.

    On this episode, Marco and Siegfried discuss how you can improve your street photography by working with a system and how going back to the same places over and over again increases your chances of getting a great shot.

    Siegfried established the catchy P.I.L.O.T. system to help you structure your street photography approach:

    P = Place

    I = Inspiration

    L = Layers

    O = Objects

    T = Theme

    Inspirational photographer of the month:

    Siegfried picks Ernst Haas (born 1921 in Vienna, Austria - died 1986 in New York) an early adopter of Kodachrome color film at a time where most photographers were still using B&W film. His unique style of capturing graphic scenes and reflections in cities quickly attracted the attention of magazines and publishers. He was invited to join Magnum and even became Mangum's president in 1960. Ernst Haas photo books are very popular up to today and are often sold out. In September 2019 a new book of his will be published by Magnum and his estate. http://ernst-haas.com

    Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2jNm98T

    Publishers Website:https://steidl.de/Books/Color-Correction-0318264155.html

    The book shows complex, clever and vibrant color images that were never exhibited during Haas's lifetime.

    Marco picks:

    "Hold the Line" by Siegfried Hansen

    Link: https://www.verlag-kettler.de/programm/hold-line#/

    Hold the Line is a beautiful and clever street photo book with a collection of lines, symmetry, and color in public space. It has 56 pages and was published by Kettler in May 2015. The book is sold out and now fetches quite high prices on the used photography book market.

    So this is a reminder that sometimes it's worth to get the photo book right away when it's still available.

  • Camera and Inspiration #25 | PPN | On Talking Creativity - with Jeffery Saddoris

    For the "On Talking Creativity" episode, Marco invited Jeffery Saddoris to the show. Jeffery was born in California and became a technical theater major in college. After working on scenery and costume design at different theaters in the US, he changed directions and became an instructor for HTML and Photoshop - which eventually led him to become an Art Director at Universal Studios.

    Since High-School, he has always explored photography and painting as a hobby and merged both passions together in mixed media art. After many years of practicing and teaching photography, he wanted to share and discuss the creative process in photography and art with the world. He started the website Faded & Blurred, which was a leading source of photographic inspiration from 2009-2015, and still is a great resource today.

    Jeffery joined NY photographer Bill Wadman in 2012 to co-host the popular weekly photography podcast "OTP - On Taking Pictures" which ran for 6 years and 326 episodes. Now Jeffery runs his own series of podcasts on creativity like "Process Driven", Iterations", or "In Between".

    He's also the author of a great photography guide "Photography by the Letter" (link: https://jefferysaddoris.com/photography-by-the-letter/).

    Jeffery's current short bio states: Serial Conversationalist, Podcaster, Author, Photographer, Painter.

    And on this episode, Marco and Jeffery discuss the creative struggles and sources of inspiration that artists and non-artists constantly encounter in their lives.

    Marco picks:

    "Photography by the Letter" by Jeffery Saddoris

    Link: https://jefferysaddoris.com/photography-by-the-letter/

    Jeffery's book is a comprehensive A-Z field guide for photographers. It's visually a joy to look at and you can tell that he has spent a long time on composing the drawings and charts to explain the subject matter in a very organized and visual way.

    The book is structured in a way that you can look up a subject by the letter - for example, "A" like Angle of View or Aspect Ratio and read and look at the explanation and the accompanying drawings. And the subject matter ranges from old analog terms to modern digital photography terms.

    For example, you'll find out how a bellow is used and how it relates to our modern macro extension tubes and Tilt-Shift lenses. And this makes this book a fun resource to explore for a photography beginner as well as a seasoned pro. This book will simply make you a more educated photographer. And it also inspires you to take action with photo exercises.

    The eBook is $20 and the hard copy is $30. Or you can currently pick up both in a digital bundle special for $40. https://jefferysaddoris.com/photography-by-the-letter/

    Jeffery picks:

  • We Shoot Mirrorless #25 | PPN | Ricoh GR III, Lumix G95, Leica Q2, Fuji, Sony, Sigma, Huawei P30, and more

    This show is loaded with new mirrorless camera hands-on experiences and news. For this show, Marco has invited back his friend, journalist, and reviewer of cameras and photographic equipment Angela Nicholson.

    This show is sponsored by:

    Angela flew all the way to Rome to test out the new Fuji X-T30 camera. The new X-T30 replaced the X-T30 and gains some features of the top of the line X-T3, like the 26.1 MP BSI sensor, the AF-joystick, and a faster AF. But some features as lacking from the big brother like the second SD-card slot, the high res EVF, and the dedicated ISO dial. Angela has used the camera and shares her experience with it and how it compares to the X-T3.

    Just after we were done recording, Fuji issued a FW 1.01 update to lessen the effect of the X-T30 "accidental Q-button engagement." After installing and testing the Q-button update, Angela has added her findings at the bottom of the X-T30 review at CameraJabber.com: https://camerajabber.com/fujifilm-x-t30-review/

    Fuji X-T30

    B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IpXtPa

    Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2NnJPLr

    Fuji released FW update 3.0 for the X-T3. The main improvements cover face and eye detect AF accuracy. Face AF priority has also been added - you can now select the face to focus and meter for when there are multiple people in the frame. And another improvement enables faster AF speed for subjects at a distance.

    X-T3 FW update on Fuji's website: Fuji website: https://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/firmware/x/xt3/index.html

    Fuji Camera Remote App for iOS update. With this update to App V4.0 Marco thinks that the software has finally been improved from "painful to use" to "somewhat usable." Marco discusses in the show what he thinks is still lacking from the program and urges all camera manufacturers to invest more effort in the features and usability of their smartphone apps. "If they want to compete with the constantly improving cameras on smartphones, they need to make their apps to be desirable to use and easy to pair to multiple devices.

    Panasonic has released the Lumix G95/G90. Angela has had a hands-on with the camera and shares if this Lumix camera is more for the photographer, the videographer, or a truly 50-50 usable hybrid camera.

    Angela also had a longer hands-on with the Panasonic Lumix S1 and S1R cameras and chimes in with her experience and opinion of those cameras in comparison to other FF mirrorless cameras on the market. And she also shares if she would prefer the S1 or S1R in her camera bag.

    Ricoh introduced the new GR III camera. Both, Angela and Marco have tested the new compact mirrorless camera from Ricoh with its new 24MP APS-C sensor and newly rendered 28mm EFV lens. The rear LCD now is touch-enabled but there are a few things that Marco would have liked to see improved in this latest update to match this camera better to the target audience of street and travel photographers.

    Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2IEkOvN

    Leica has introduced the Q2. The updated Q still has the fantastic fixed 28mm f1.7 lens but gained an almost 100% bump in resolution with the new full-frame sensor moving up from 24MP to 47MP! With this higher resolution, Leica implemented a third native crop mode to the camera. Next to the 35mm (30MP) and 50mm (14.7MP) in-camera crop modes the added 75mm crop still produces a 6.6MP image. The electronic viewfinder was also updated from LCD to OLED and the capacity of the battery was also improved. But the update did not implement two of Marco's "like to have seen" features of a tilt-LCD and dedicated ISO dial.

    Leica Q2

    Sigma will make 11 of their Art lenses available for L-mount in 2019. This should make Lumix and Leica SL owners very happy because Sigma's Art lenses are high quality at reasonable prices. The L-mount availability will include the 20mm, 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 40mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 105mm f1.4 DG HSM lenses as well as the 14mm and 135mm f1.8 and the 70mm f2.8 macro ART lenses.

    And Sigma is also introducing the MC-21 mount converter that will allow some of their SA and EF-mount lenses to adapt to the L-mount system.

    Huawei P30 introduction. Angela has tried the new Huawei P30 smartphone with 4 built-in cameras and lenses. This smartphone offers a lot of versatility and features for photographers. The low-light quality is very good and even the computational DOF simulation of an up to f 0.95 lens does an impressive job of rendering fine detail and correctly applying it sharply to the subject or blurred to the background. But the P30 does seem to have some color issues in 4K video mode due to the new RYYB vs. the traditional RGGB pixel layout. But this should be fixable in a future FW update.

    Mirrorless question of the month:

    Hi! One question about RAW converter and workflow with Fuji. What's the best process to get from Fuji RAW to Lightroom?

    1. Directly import RAWs to LR?
    2. Convert RAW files with Adobe DNG Converter and then import dng in LR?
    3. Use Iridient (or others) instead of Adobe Converter?

    Regards Daniel

  • Q&A #22 | PPN | When is it ok to work for free and when should you consider a full-frame camera over APS-C or m4/3?

    Episode summary: Is there ever a time when it is ok to work for free as a photographer, and if so, when would you make that exception?

    And with all of the new fancy full-frame cameras on the market, when would you consider a full-frame camera over a smaller APS-C or m4/3 camera?

    Please submit your photography related questions to us here: http://www.photopodcasts.com/contact.html

    Here are the questions that Marco answers in this episode:

    1. Hi Marco, You have mentioned in the past that photographers should not work for free because images have value and there is quite a high direct cost involved with photography (like camera, lens, training, storage, software, computer, etc.). But would you consider to work for free for a charitable non-profit organization? I have been approached by a local organization and would like to hear your opinion if I should make an exception here? Love the shows! Regards, Soeren

    Question from: Soeren, Stockholm, Sweden

    1. Hi Marco, I enjoy your Podcast very much. I am considering the Fuji XT3, but you mentioned on your recent podcast that you would consider a full frame camera for large prints. So just how big can you print with the Fuji APS-C ( XT-2 or XT-3) cameras that you would consider museum quality? Especially, with the new algorithm in Photoshop to up-Res your pictures or even using On1 Software "Resize".

    Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month:

    "Elliott Erwitt - Personal Best"

    Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2WvRIBD

    Publishers Website: https://teneues-books.com/personal-best-7

    Elliott Erwitt is one of the few photographers who has managed to be successful and very well regarded in different genres of photography. He was a great commercial advertising and fashion photographer. And only a few commercial photographers also managed to be this highly regarded in the documentary and art photography community. He is also an incredible street photographer with an eye for the humor in a situation. And his dog photo series in New York is legendary.

    Book description from the publishers' website:

    (The book contains) ...unique images from a photographic master that will make you smile but also think

    One of the all-time greats, Elliott Erwitt is a master whose photographs have defined the visual history of the 20th century - and the 21st. Although his work spans decades, continents and diverse subjects, it is always instantly recognizable. Spontaneous and original, Erwitt's visions are imbued with true artistry and no trace of artifice. In this definitive collection, the master shares those works he considers his personal best. As you browse this carefully curated retrospective, you'll feel nostalgia, wonder—and a lasting sense of life's rich potential. (source: https://teneues-books.com/personal-best-7)

    Mirrorless question of the month:

    Hi Marco! You have talked about your first experience with the Panasonic Lumix S1R in a previous show. I am currently using the Lumix G9 for my sports and portrait work. What do you think would be my real-world advantages if I add an S1R to my bag? I do about 50% sports and 50% portrait and people photography right now and my sports photos are mainly used for web- and newspaper distribution while my portraits are usually also printed and framed for my clients.

    Thanks, Justin.

  • We Shoot Mirrorless #23 | PPN | Fuji X-T30, Canon EOS RP, Sony a6400, Lumix S1, Olympus E-M1X, DJI Osmo Pocket, and more

    This show is loaded with mirrorless news and hands-on experience with some of the new cameras. For this show, Marco has invited back his friend, journalist, and reviewer of cameras and photographic equipment Angela Nicholson.

    This show is sponsored by:

    Skylum Luminar3 - The cutting edge photo editor

    and

    Fuji X-T30 - Fuji has introduced the replacement for the X-T20. The new X-T30 gains some features of the top of the line X-T3, like the 26.1 MP BSI sensor, the AF-joystick, and a faster AF. But some features as lacking from the big brother like the second SD-card slot, the high res EVF, and the dedicated ISO dial. Angela has used the camera and shares her experience with it.

    Fuji X-T30

    B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IpXtPa

    Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2NnJPLr

    Fuji announced the XF 16mm f2.8 lens. This lens is a much smaller and lighter version of the XF 16mm f1.4 lens. Its built quality is similar to the XF23, 35, and 50mm f2 range of lenses and at about 40% of the weight and 40% of the price of the XF 16mm f1.4 this lens may be worth a second look if you like to add a classic 24mm field of view lens to your bag.

    Fuji XF 16mm f2.8 R WR lens

    B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IoZb36

    Fuji has also announced the GF 100-200mm f5.6 LM OIS WR tele-zoom lens for the Fuji GFX medium format camera. This lens will yield an EFV of 80-160mm in FF terms.

    Fuji GF 100-200mm f5.6 R LM OIS WR

    B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IoleXO

    In April, Fuji will offer a FW update for the X-T3. FW 3.0 will improve the AF speed and face & eye-detection accuracy. A new face-select AF option, when you have multiple faces in the screen, will also be added.

    Panasonic has released the final specs of the Lumix S1 and S1R full frame cameras. Marco has used a pre-production review unit of the S1R for a couple of days and shares the specs and some info on the usability and purpose of this camera.

    Panasonic Lumix S1

    B&H: https://bhpho.to/2Ip0pLK

    Panasonic Lumix S1R

    B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IoT9zJ

    To go along with the new Lumix S1 cameras, Panasonic has also released three new lenses for the new L-mount. The S PRO 50mm f1.4, the S 24-105mm f4 Macro O.I.S., and the S PRO 70-200 f4 O.I.S. lens. Each lens fills an interesting niche in terms of focal length, weight, features, and price.

    Canon has countered the trend of making new mirrorless full frame cameras larger and introduced the compact entry-level EOS RP with a 26 MP sensor.

    And Canon will bring out these 6 new RF-mount lenses in 2019:

    RF 24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM

    RF 15-35mm F2.8 L IS USM

    RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM (super compact!)

    RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM

    Angela shares her hands-on experience with the new Olympus OM-D E-M1X camera and for whom this camera has actually been made.

    Sony has announced the a6400 APS-C that replaces the a6300. The compact 24 MP camera has been pimped with a processor and AF system that Sony claims is the world's fastest autofocus. And with the speed, they have also added real-time eye AF and real-time tracking. This APS-C camera sounds like the cropped version of an a9, but we are wondering if the rangefinder style shape is really appealing for whom this speedy APS-C camera is targeted at?

    Mirrorless question of the month:

    Hi! I mostly shoot weddings and families with a Nikon D750 and have an X-T10 for fun. I want to switch completely to the Fuji X-T2. There are other mirrorless brands but they just don't interest me and I don't want full frame due to the size of the lens. The one thing that is holding me back is the time between shutter actuation on the X-T10. I know Marco uses the X-T2 and was curious if he has noticed it on that camera. The X-T10 has a slight delay between shots and would not work in my professional work. Thanks in advance and I love all of your podcast.
