Camera Gear Podcast Posts

January 6, 2026

The Leica M EV1 has us a little surprised at Leica’s willingness to deviate from the analog nature of their M series of cameras, and we debate whether it’s the camera Leica fans have been waiting for. But before that, Lucas continues his internal struggle of how to manage and edit his photos. Also, we look at an interesting set of Lightroom presets a listener pointed us to that seem to match other brands’ cameras to Fuji film simulations.

October 28, 2025

We debate how much of photography is having an “eye” for it, versus learning the skills of using a camera. Then, we shift gears into discussing what gear we’d use to start a YouTube channel, and how we’d each approach filming and editing for a channel. Bonus: Lucas unexpectedly has to match camera brands with F1 teams.
