The Camera Gear Podcast

We cover cameras old and new in this Episode 200 extravaganza, starting with a look at Daniel’s various travel cameras and debating whether he needs another action camera to add to the mix. Then, we do a deep dive into several old film and digital cameras we came across recently–including a few legendary lenses.
