The More Gear Show topic this month is: What gear to choose for street-, travel-, or documentary photography?
This episode is sponsored by: PhotoShelter Marco invited fellow street and event photographer Matt Hart from England as our guest to the show. Matt has been creating images for 40 years and he is also a Fujifilm ambassador and the founder of the Fujiholics Social Media group. Clothes & Shoes: The first gear choices that are discussed are clothes and shoes. It sounds like something that one should not put too much thought into, but the right shoes and clothes can make the difference between a pleasant and successful or a miserable day doing photography in the city. Camera bags: Matt prefers a backpack over traditional camera bags most of the time these days. But he does also like the stylish GILLIS bags: GILLIS B&H: https://bhpho.to/2D5mtnh Marco uses the ThinkTank Retrospective 5 & 10 bags B&H: https://bhpho.to/2BZnTQP Amazon DE: http://amzn.to/2C3fzSz And the COSYSPEED CAMSLINGER Streetomatic Plus B&H: https://bhpho.to/2ABWORN Amazon DE: http://amzn.to/2kQu5TZ Accessories:

These focal lengths will ensure a realistic perspective similar to how we see with the human eyes. Weather sealing is an advantage and faster aperture lenses are not a must but will be at an advantage in low light situations.

Mirrorless question of the month: Hello Scott and Marco, I have a question for Marco. I'm in process of selling my Nikon D300s camera (way to heavy for my age and use) with the intention to get a Fujifilm X-T2. I plan to get the EF-x500 flash too, primarily for fill light for indoor shooting. However, I have read that this flash does not work well and it dies after a few uses (poor manufacturing or design flaw..!) the word is the OEM manufacturer "Nissin Digital i60A" flash does a much better job. I know from the podcast that you don't use flash much. But I wanted to know your understanding/recommendation on to which flash to get - the Fujifilm EF-x500 or Nissin Digital i60A or a different one? I'll appreciate any advice. From: Viguen from West Hills, Ca.

Here are the questions that Marco answers on this episode: 1. I think rangefinder camera design is superior for use with filters, because focus mechanism is not affected by screw on filters. However, how do rangefinder shooters use graduated or split ND filter? Do they use only screw on type and then compose the scene to be split right down the middle? Thanks! Question from: Garlo in Irvine, California 2. Hi Scott and Marco, Hi! I have a problem that I am struggling with. I have an Olympus OMD EM10 MK1 and i have noticed that if i take a photo with a lot of contrast the highlights seem to get burnt out if i try and expose for the darks. I am saving files in jpeg format. I also have a Nikon D7000 that seems to cope OK although I do save files in raw with this camera. Is there something i can do in the settings to try and help with this or is it because of the micro 4 3rds sensor on the older EM10? Cheers!

I always listen to it during my walks ! I've got a question regarding the size of the single autofocus point. In the center of the frame, I can select a focus point which provides "phase detection" and "contrast detection". I can increase the size of this point. Does this mean that these phase and contrast detection methods rely on a scalable number of pixels only, or do they or one of them rely on a physical detector and in this case what is the advantage of increasing the size ? I'm using a fuji x-t2. Thank you and bye/bis bald Question from: Laurence from Rennes, France 4. This may be a rather simple question with a complex answer, but a friend and I are both considering the switch to Fuji and I know both of you use or have used Fuji cameras. Do you use a RAW developer and subsequent processing software or do you use the out of camera jpegs and no RAW at all with software for minor changes? I'm primarily interested in B&W whereas my friend shoots more color. Question from: Jim in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 5. How confident should I feel about my computer being able to read my Nikon and Fuji raw files in say 20 years time? Thanks for the show guys !
