We Shoot Mirrorless #4 | PPN | July 10th, 2017

Picture



On this #4 “We Shoot Mirrorless” podcast episode for July 2017, Scott and Marco discuss these new products and mirrorless topics:

  • Marco shares his photo documentary “G20 Summit - Hamburg Under Siege”: https://www.marcolarousse.com/blog/2017/7/5/g20-germany-hamburg-under-siege
  • Scott was a guest at This Week In Tech (TWIT) on episode #621: https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-tech/episodes/621?autostart=false
  • CIPA camera sales numbers are up 34% year over year for May 2017.
  • Leica announced the new Leica TL2 - a 24 MPix APS-C mirrorless interchangeable camera body that we discuss.
  • Lensbaby announced the new Velvet 85mm f1.8 lens that comes with mounts for the following mirrorless camera systems: Sony E-mount, Fuji X-mount, and Micro Four Thirds mount.
  • Hasselblad released FW 1.17.0 for their mirrorless medium format Hasselblad X1D 50c camera. The FW improves stability and operability.
  • Nikon’s CEO announced that their first interchangeable mirrorless camera is in development. And it is supposed to beat the performance of existing mirrorless cameras. We share our thoughts about this announcement.
  • Ricoh / Pentax seem to be in financial trouble as their core business is declining. What do they need to do to continue to be successful in the camera business?
  • Lexar announced that they are pulling out of the memory card business and we discuss why we partially like and dislike this move for different reasons.
  • Scott is publishing his “Eagle Monographs” book that is shipping soon and that you can pre-order here: www.ScottBourne.photography
  • We have a PPN Photo Podcast Network group at Flickr (click link) that is open to our listeners and photos taken with all mirrorless camera brands. If you want to join just let us know through the "request invitation" button on the group and drop us a quick line there. We'll add you to the group then. And please ask for the invite via the web browser and not via the Flickr App. The invite process via the app has not been working reliably.
  • We have picked our monthly featured photographer and image from our Flickr groups. Our monthly We Shoot Mirrorless feature photo and photographer of the month is: John Morrell with his photo “A Pillar of Zen” (click link).

Please support our show by using our B&H affiliate link (click here) that will not cost you a penny more than when you are buying at B&H without our link. And the more this link will be used to buy at B&H, the more giveaways we’ll be able to give back to our listeners through B&H. It really is a “win-win” situation :)

And please share this podcast with your friends and subscribe via iTunes. We would also love to get your feedback. Is there anything that you want us to cover on the show in the future?

Hi Marco and Scott,
thank you so much for choosing my photo as your photo of the month for July. I am incredibly honoured to have folks of your experience choose and critique my photo. I'm writing this late as I just found out, when catching up on the podcasts after our summer holidays. Oddly enough I found out just after listening to your podcast on minimalism in photography, and that is something I´ve choosen to do this year - thanks in great part to your inspiring podcasts - from 'We shoot Fuji' till now. I decided that the best thing to do was go as small and transportable as possible, and really concentrate on learning very single thing the camera can do, and then some.
So I set down my X-Pro 1, saved some money, sold some stuff and opted and bartered for a second hand Sony RX1 on Ebay small ads to help me get as portable as possible, whilst maintaining quality. ( Fuji to Sony - blasphemy Scott... I know ! )
None of these decisions would have been possible without both of your inspirational advice and experience that allowed me to take the leap into fixed lens, 'less is learn more' world.
In fact, if I hadn't done that, I would probably not have taken that photo. As Scott often says, " the best camera is the one you've got with you" ; this really inspired me to go small and be able to concentrate on the photo rather than the gear. I choose the Sony as I can always have it with me, regardless of the `awkwardness` it brings with it. ie, having to lie down on a dirty pier to shoot a Ninja Rock ( well spotted ! ) And as a result, I know that camera inside out and it has never let me down. It has helped me understand more about photography than I could have imagined.
So, that photo is in many ways a result of your sharing your knowledge with the world, and for that I'm deeply grateful.
Keep up your inspiring work, as you keep on inspiring me and countless others. I continue to learn so much from you both.

Thank you again,

John Morrell

ps: Although I´m a Scotsman, I live in Germany near Frankfurt and would be delighted Marco if you ever do a photo walk or shoot in the area, to join you - if possible. + I do speak pretty fluent German !
