On this month’s More Gear Show, Scott invited PPN  co-founder Marco Larousse to talk about a very important photography gear topic: Lenses

  • The lens is probably the most important- and could be the longest lasting gear investment that you can make in photography. We discuss these topics regarding lenses on this show:  
  • Lens philosophy - Should you buy fixed focal length primes or rather go for more versatile zooms? And what would be the reasons to choose either one?  
  • Creativity - What are the creative reasons that you should consider when choosing a new lens? Consider changing perspective or using unusual focal lengths for an extraordinary look in your images.  
  • Focal lengths - When to use what focal length for a pleasing look and how to get more use out of each lens for landscape, architecture, portrait, sports or bird photography.  
  • To image stabilize or not to image stabilize - There are good reasons why your lens may not need an IS.

Marco’s favorite lens picks:

  1. Fujinon XF 16mm f1.4 R WR http://bhpho.to/2uPVpaZ with optional LH-XF16 metal lens hood http://bhpho.to/2utk1Uv

Another great show! The practical nature of your comments are highly appreciated. Like you, I too switched from A FF Canon system to Olympus and when comparing prints up to the largest I normally print (16x20) there is no discernible difference in image quality, and my back and shoulders are very appreciative! Keep up the good work and I look forward to your future podcasts!
Thanx!

Scott & Marco

I just finished listening to "More Gear Show" #4 and felt compelled to drop you guys a note to say "Great Job". I have been listening for a few years (or more) and felt that this episode was one of your best ones yet! It was concise, direct and addressed the questions that I had regarding lenses.

I tend to be one of those guys that likes direct answers to specific questions (without a lot of extraneous information that seems to come along for the ride) with some podcasts. Photography is a hobby for me but as I near that retirement age find that I enjoy more and more.

Keep up the good work!
