The boys take a hard hitting look at the new Sony G Master lenses, Sony A6300, and Canon 1D X II. And if that wasn’t enough they take an even harder hittinger look at some well known photography workshops. If you’ve been wondering about the lack of exclamation points at “Heck Yeah Photo Camp” or whether the low protein gruel at “Foundation” was any good you’ll want to open up your listening holes for this week’s Maximalist.

Have you been lying awake at night asking yourself endless questions since Sony released their new “game changing”-mirrorless-megapixel-behemoth? Questions such as: What do three photographers whom I’ve never heard of think about this tiny new razzle-dazzle photo box? Or why don’t people reference the movie Ghost as frequently anymore? And is white wine any good?

You’re in luck – because you’ll sleep easy after we answer these deep burning questions on the first edition of THE MAXIMALIST. And yes, we are aware that the last sentence suggests that you’ll find the show very boring. We’re intentionally leaving that vague to add some spice to our relationship. Did it work?
