Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #50: And the Winners Are . . .

After taking a midsummer break, the Shutter Brothers are back, and we've got some winners to celebrate. First, Wayne announces the winner of his 35mm system shootout. You may remember from show #50 that Wayne was torn between two different 35mm camera systems. In one corner was his beloved Pentax KX, and in the other corner was a newly acquitted pristine Canon FTb. In that show Wayne discussed the pros and cons of each camera. He even got some help from some of our listeners. Well, "no more calls - we have a winner," and it's . . . (Did you think we would tell you here? Hey, you gotta listen to the show!)

Canon or Pentax? A decision has been made.

Meanwhile Kevin has a similar "quarterback controversy" (to borrow a football term) with two able twin lens reflex cameras, his Rolleicord Va(2) and his Yashica-Mat. 

Both are fine cameras, Kevin, but which one is The One?

Next, Wayne talks about his "butcher cover" lens that appears to be an Otar 58mm f2. But when he "peeled off the cover," he found something quite different.

Otar 58mm f2 lens in 42mm mount. Or so one might think . . . 

The ID ring hides a secret past . . . 

 . . . that is revealed when removed. 

Lastly, we announce the winner of our book giveaway! And thank you to Shaun Nelson of Utah Film Photography fame for donating this fine hardback book so that we could give it away. Yay!

An excellent guide for the newcomer to film photography.
