Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #84: Shoot Film Save Money
Is is possible to be a film photographer and save money? Shutter Brothers Wayne and Kevin think so, and they break it down in their latest UJC Podcast. And it's not just about shooting cheaper film. The Shutter Bros. also share memories of The Great Film Photo Meetup, which took place August 9-10 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Well over twenty film photographers (ncluding several podcast hosts) from from at least seven states gathered in The Scenic City to make photographs and get to know each other. The event was a complete success, and the only question now is where will it be held next year? Stay tuned. Wayne and Kevin round out the show with an email updste from listener Ryan regarding his effort to use an LED light source for his enlarger. Happy Photography!

Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #82: Triptych the Light Fantastic
After an early summer break, Wayne and Kevin have film to develop, prints to make, and project to pursue. Kevin's project has been making contact print triptychs using one of the cheapest new cameras availbable today, the "Plastic Filmtastic" . This $20 camera often gets compared with the legandary Holga, but it is not the same camera. While the Debonair also has a plastic lens, Kevin believes that it makes better photographs than the Holga while still producing vintage vignetting effects. However, what really separates the Debonair from the Holga is that the Debonair makes 6x4.5cm rectangle images (as opposed to the Holga's 6x6cm square images). Inspired by Wayne's idea of using his Fuji GS645 camera as a medium format 'half-frame' camera, Kevin began photography old business signs with his Debonair with an eye toward contact printing three images on a singel 4x6 postcard. It's still in the 'proof-of-concept' stage, but the possibilities are real indeed! Meahwhile, Wayne empties out the UJC mailbag and reads some great listener feedback. And finally, the Shutter Brothers discuss the , which happens on Saturday and Sunday, August 9-10. Happy Photography!

Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #81: You Should Have Been There
The Shutter Brothers are waxing nostalgic about the old days of local camera and photography shops - and that's easy for them to do, because Kevin spent many happy hours hanging out in them, and Wayne actually work in and owned one. All we can say is "you should have been there," because it was a magical as you would expect - if you are as crazy about cameras as we are. The official start of summer is just days away, and both Wayne and Kevin are thinking about travel photography and (of course) travel film cameras. So, Wayne gives a run down of his recent acquistion the Fuji GS645 Professional Wide 60 medium format rangefinder camera and how it might be a good choice for travel photography. Meanwhile, Kevin is preparing for his first ever trip to California by choosing a camera to take along. You guessed it, it's his Leica M2. What is your go to travel film camera? The Shutter Brothers are excited about a photowalk that will take place in Chattanooga on August 9-12 involving many of your favorite film photography podcasters. Listen for details. Oh, and we also give away a Minolta Maxxum XTsi AF 35mm AF camera complete with a Minolta AF 35-70mm f4 zoom lens.

Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #80: Everyday I Shoot the Book
The Shutter Brothers (Wayne and Kevin) are back and ready to talk about photobooks. Kevin has recently become acquainted with the published work of the American photographer, Robert Adams, and in particular his book, Summer Nights, Walking. Having found several YouTube about Summer Nights, Walking, Kevin made the decision to find a copy and purchase it, and now he is able to view the photographs in the manner Robert Adams intended - in a finely published book. Does this matter? Listen to find out. Next, the Shutter Bros. discuss the concept of revisiting past photographic efferts and the good things that might result. Whether it be revisiting a subject, a darkroom print, or even a piece of grear, sometimes the passage of time alone can be worth the effort and produces a 'remake' that becomes the keeper. Kevin wants to give a big shout out to listener's Todd and Jason for generaouly sending him several darkroom prints over the past year or so. And speaking of sharing, Kevin is giving away his Minolta Maxxum XTsi 35mm camera paired with a Maxxum AF 35-70mm f4 zoom lens to a lucky listener. Finally, Wayne and Kevin have decided on a location for the 4th Annual Photowalk with the Shutter Brothers. You can enter the contest and/or send us comments, questions, tips, reviews, and stories to You also can find us on and , and feel free to leave your feedback there. Until next time . . .

Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #79: A Tale of Two Adapters
The Shutter Brothers are back fresh from an early morning photowalk to Richey Ridge Falls (near Soddy Daisy, Tennessee) and are ready to share their recent experiences photographing both together and also with a group of fellow film photography podcasters at Old Car City in White, Georgia. Along the way, Wayne and Kevin disuss ideas for the 4th Annual Photowalk with the Shutter Brothers. It all starts with getting out with your camera ends with having a photograph to share. Ane speaking of sharing, Wayne is sharing some of his photography at the Annual Photography Exhibit & Competition at the Arts Center in Athens, Tennessee. The show is presented by the Athens Area Council for the Arts and runs from March 24 to May 30, 2025. If you live anywhere near East Tennessee, then make the trip to Athens to check out Wayne's work. Now that Kevin has the Leica M2 he's wanted for so long, it didn't take long for him to think about adding a 35mm lens to his kit. Actually, he already has a Leica 35mm lens, but it is a screwmount Elmar f3.5. Can it be used with a Leica M camera? The answer is "yes," if you have a LTM to M mount adapter. Leica made them back in the day, and now they are made cheaply in China. But just how compatible are they. Find out in the show. it's spring, and that means time for some de-cluttering. So, Kevin is giving away a camera! It's a fully functional Minolta Maxxum XTsi with a Minolta AF 35-70mm f4 zoom lens. It's the camera Kevin used for color photography on his Alaskan cruise last September, and now it can be yours. You can enter by email at [email protected]. Once agaiin our listeners chime in with some great email. We'd love to hear from you, too. Happy Photography! Wayne's photography can be seen at in Athens, Tennessee through May 30, 2025. Gegory Davis (The Naked Photographer) created two YouTube vieos about his experience with the Intrepid Enlarger, which used LED light to emulate contrast filters.

Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #78: M Bop
Wel it finally happened. Kevin now owns a Leica M2 after an unexpected local ad pops up. Not an impluse buy, mind you, as his search for the right M2 and the right time to buy it has been years in the making. but to say that Kevin is excited is quite the understatement. Meanwhile, Wayne has been playing with a compact German designed camera of his own, the Rollei 35. And compact doesn't really describe just how small this full frame 35mm rangefinder camera is. Ergonomic it is not, but could Wayne like it anyway? After some show and tell, the Shutter Brothers dive into some listener feedback, and once again, we all learn something in the process. We are thankful for our listeners, and we love hearing from them. So, please consider sending us an email () or posting a comment on our Instagram or Facebook pages (@UJCpodcast).

Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #77: What's in the Mailbag?
The Shutter Brothers are back with the first show of 2025, and its time to read some of the listener feedback that's in the UJC mailbag. Our listeners have lots of great questions and tips for us on topics like the best ways to meter with and without a light meter and the importance of shooting digital images in RAW format. And two of our listeners weigh in on why Kevin (who, as you no doubt know, has red green color blindness) can see colors more accurately when they appear on a screen as opposed to seeing them in person. We love the feedback we get from our listeners, and we will have more listener questions in our next show. Meanwhile, both Wayne has been having unexpected troubles with hs film development process. As you know, Wayne develops his Ilford FP4+ 4x5 inch film sheets in a self-mixed modified Caffenol CL developer. This highly compensating process is cental to getting the negatives to which he is accustomed, namely detail in both shadows and highlights. This results in negatives that, because they contain all the important "information," are easier to print. However, Wayne's last two batches have had brown streaks and over developed highlights. Wayne wants to know why and what he can do about it. you can always reach the Shutter Brothers at or at our Facebook and Instagram pagers (@UCJpodcast). Happy Photography!

Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #75: No Freeform Jazz
The Shutter Brothers are in improvisation mode for this impromptu yet informative show with a full range of film photography related topics. And yes, they always have some "showing and telling" to do. Wayne begins with a discussion of his Canon Canonet QL17 G3, an excellent little compact 35mm rangfinder camera (often called "The Poor Man's Leica"). When this very capable camera is paired with the Canon Canolite D flash, it produces some of the best flash photography the Bros. have ever seen. Wayne explains how in the show. Meanwhile, Kevin reveals what camera he bought after declaring his Wisner 4x5 would be the last camera he would ever buy? Would you believe it was a DSLR? Listen to the show to learn what and why. As usual, our listeners contribute some excellent questions and comments on topics ranging from how a camera's depth of field preview feature works to ideas for macro photography on the cheap.

Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #73: The Best Leica RF Camera Isn’t a Leica
The Shutter Brothers are in the studio - and so is Wayne's new camera! And what a camera it is! The Canon VI-L is as impressive a 35mm meter-less mechanical shutter rangefinder camera we've ever seen. Could it be better than a Leica? Listen and find out. Meanwhile, Kevin is back from his amazing Alaskan cruise with six and a half rolls of exposed film. Listen for a report on how his two SLR cameras and three lenses performed on the 2000 mile journey. Next, the Shutter Bros read some listener questions about focus loupes and stand development, the latter of which serves as a chance to discuss Wayne's updated Caffenol CL formula. Both Wayne and Kevin have used it with 4x5 sheet film with excellent results, but would it work with roll film? Wayne's Leica-busting Canon VI-L isn't the only camera Wayne had been testing out lately. The Goerz Minicord is one of the most unique cameras we've ever seen. It's a subminiature twin lens reflex camera that uses double perforated 16mm film. Was it intended to be used as a spy camera? We've got opinions, as usual. Fiinally, Wayne and Kevin preview our 3rd Annual Photowalk with the Shutter Brothers, which is going to happen on Saturday, October 26, at Fort Southwest Point near Kingston, Tennessee. The city of Kingston will be celebrating its 225th birthday with period military reenactments, and the photography opportunities will be numberous and rich. No matter what kind of camera you bring, you will have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make interesting photographs, as well as connect with other photographers. We hope to see you there.

Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #72: Exposure Compensation Sensation!
If you have a camera with an automatic exposure mode (such as aperture or shutter priority), you may have wondered about that dial on your camera with +1 +2 and -1 -2? That dial is the way you access your camera's exposure compensation, and knowing how to use it will make you a better photographer. Shutter Brothers Wayne and Kevin do a deep dive into how exposure comensation works and when you should use it. Meanwhile, Kevin shares his thoughts about his opportunity to use his 'dream' camera. Was it a positive experience? Will Kevin be shelling out some big bucks? Or, is there a greater lesson to be learned here? Listen to find out. Next, Wayne and Kevin get philisophical again and share some of the deep 'dark' thoughts they have been having lately with "Thoughts from the Dark(room)." If you've been having some deep thoughts about your photography lately, you can share them with us by email (), Instagram (@UJCPodcast) or Facebook (also @UJCPodcast). We'e love to hear from you!

Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #70: Kevin Has Questions
After a fun morning of photography, the Shutter Brothers are back to the podcast table - and Kevin has questions! Lately, he's been in the darkroom trying out fiber based paper for the first time, and he has much to learn about the differences between resin coated and fiber based paper when it comes to exposing, developing, fixing, washing, and drying processes. Fortunately, Wayne has been printing on FB paper for decades, so get ready to learn, everybody! The look and feel of FB paper makes mastering the learning curve worth it. Kevin also reviews a fine photo book, New York Changing: Revisiting Berenice Abbott's New York by Douglas Levere. Berenice Abbott had a long and very successful photography career and is well known for her documentary photography of 1930's New York City. Levere attempts to rephotograph Abbott's subjects to demonstrate the changes time has brought about, and the book contains many side by side comparisons of both Abbott's and Levere's photography. Anyone who has interest in urban large format photgraphy will enjoy it very much! Next, Wayne leads a discussion about Edward Weston's quote, "To photograph a rock, have it look like a rock, but be more than a rock." Exactly how does a developing phoographer begin to make images that express feelings or tell stories? Wayne has some practical and useful tips. Don't forget about our 3rd Annual Photowalk with the Shutter Brothers, which will happen on Saturday, October 26, at Fort Southwest Point in Kingston, Tennessee. If you've ever thought about photographing a military reenactment, this is your chance. There will be hundreds of reenactors patroling the reconstructed Fort Southwest Point providing ample photographic opportunities. Mark your calendar!

Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #68: Two Cameras, Two Lenses, and Twin Lenses
The two Shutter Brothers are talking twos! First, Kevin gets a breakdown from Wayne regarding the pros and cons of various camera pairs for his forthcoming Alaskan cruise in September. Why two? Because Kevin wants to shoot two films, color and b&w on this trip. But Kevin likes to travel light, so the gear has to be right (Hey, we Shutter Bros can rhyme too!) Next, dueces run wild with twin lens reflex cameras. Two viewing lenses, two taking lenses, etc. Kevin has been using his Rolleicord Va a lot lately, but there a problem: camera shake! Kevin gets fuzzy shots when handholding the camera (but not when it's on a tripod). Could the design and location of the Rolleicord's shutter release be the culprit? To investigate, Wayne gathers his quartet of TLRs for comparison (and he has some cool ones!) and makes a suggestion for a solution. Do you like slide shows? Want to double your fun? Wayne has something for you: a Stereo Vivid 3D slide projector with screen, extra bulbs, and a collection of 3D viewing glasses. It could be yours! Finally, we're already making plans for our 3rd Annual Photowalk with The Shutter Brothers on October 26, 2024. Mark you calendars! Happy Photography!

Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #67: What's in Wayne's Closet?
Most people find a lot of junk in their closet, but not Shutter Brother Wayne. He's been doing some spring cleaning lately, and what he found definitely is not junk. How about a Stereo Realist? And a stereo projector? Some stereo card mounts? A viewer? Imagine the cool slides shows at the Setser house Wayne has been using handheld cameras a lot lately, especially his Noblex panoramic camera. Since the Noblex doesn't have a strap and must be held with both hands, Wayne could use a third hand to hold his handheld light meter. Or, he could find a meter that fits one his hand. And he did! The Reveni Labs Incident Meter straps on the the back of Wayne's hand stays there. Also, just a flip of a switch and a turn of the hand, and it becomes a reflective meter. Very handy! Next, our faithful and clever listeners take over with some great questions, comments, and tips. And one of those questions leads us into a light meter deep dive. Reflective? Incident? Spot? No meter? We've got it covered. We finish with more talk of our Third Annual Photowalk with Wayne and Kevin, which will happen in October. Happy Photography!

We also hear about Wayne's travel plans and what he expects to photograph there. Before we get to look inside Wayne's camera, however, it's time to empty the mailbag and read some listener mail. Listener Roger gives a tour of his "mini camera museum,' which you can see by going to our show notes. We also read two emails that refer to Pentax cameras, and as a coincidence, Kevin relates his recent fist time experiences with the Pentax Spotmatic SP and the Pentax ME Super. Meanwhile, Kevin talks about his second attempt at creating a darkroom space in his small condo, and Wayne shares more of his "Thoughts from the Field." Happy Photography!

Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #57: Still Alive and Clicking
Life happens, and when it does, podcasts go on hold. But the Shutter Brothers are back with an informal chat about life, travels, and, of course, cameras. And we love cameras! But sometimes we may have to consider getting rid of some of our cameras. Kevin and Wayne discuss the whys and hows of reducing the camera "inventory" and why it might even make us better photographers. And speaking of getting rid of stuff, we're in a generous mood. There's stuff in our closets that need to go, and you could be the beneficiary. Listen to find out how. As always, our show notes can be found at . You can email us at Happy Shooting!

Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #55: Flash Done Right (and Flash Done Wrong)

Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #55: Flash Done Right (and Flash Done Wrong)
The Shutter Brothers are back! We've missed you, and we have some catching up to do. First, we look back on our successful photowalk and thank everyone who participated. Second, Kevin reveals his Canada camera choices (prepare to be surprised). Third, the Shutter Bros. talk flash photography - how to do it right (and how to do it wrong). Wayne, of course, does it right by finding the perfect flash for his Makina 67 medium format camera, an Olympus T32. Kevin, on the other hand, does it wrong by ignoring the presence of the M/A switch on his Yashicamat TLR, resulting in some blank film failures. Lastly, Wayne is thinking of opening an Etsy store for his prints, so he seeks answers from Kevin regarding his Etsy store. You can find our show notes at . Thank you for listening!
