Show #4 of the Uncle Jonesy's Cameras is now available for your listening pleasure! Spend some time with the Shutter Brothers (Kelley and Kevin Lane) as Kevin describes how he replaces the light seals and the mirror bumper on his newly-acquired Minolta XD-7.It takes patience and a steady hand, but you can do it, too (and if your cameras are as old as the ones we have, you probably need to.)

Next, Kelley leads a discussion of what makes a good student-level camera. Of course, most people in film photography these days think of the Pentax K1000, but have you seen the prices lately? What other choices are "out there?"

cameras is more expensive than the others." |
Finally, Kelley and Kevin share their tips on finding suitable subjects for your photography. Hey, we all need inspiration sometimes, and the Shutter Brothers think that your inspiration might be closer than you think - maybe even on your drive to work. That's why membership in the Happy Shooting Club requires that you always carry a loaded camera with you. And, if you see something interesting that you know will not be there when you pass that way again, STOP and get it on film. As photographers, it's our civic duty!
