Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #63: Picking a Photowalk Camera

The Shutter Brothers are back, and both Kevin and Wayne have some decisions to make! The 2nd Annual Photowalk with the Shutter Brothers is fast approaching, and camera/film choices must be made. Actually, Wayne already has decided which cameras to bring (listen to the show to find out), but Kevin is still waffling between his Leica iiia 35mm camera with a Leitz Elmar 35mm f3.5 lens (perfect for photowalks),  or his newly CLA'd Rolleicord Va (version 2) twin lens reflex camera. Both are German made cameras, which makes perfect sense, given that Volkswagen makes its Atlas and the all electric ID.4 vehicles right here in Chattanooga (also assembled here was every Passat from 2011 to 2022!) Because it is such a tough call, Kevin is asking for help from our faithful listeners. Send your choice to Kevin at unclejonesyscameras@gmail.com.

Help Kevin choose a camera for the photowalk!

Speaking of photowalks, our 2nd Annual Photowalk with the Shutter Brothers will happen on Saturday morning, October 7 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. We will meet outside the Hair of the Dog Pub (334 Market Street) at 8:30 am and twice walk across the Tennessee River over two historic bridges before finishing up back and the Hair of the Dog for lunch and fellowship. This year's photowalk is all about urban landscape, architectural, and street photography, and participants are encouraged to bring any type of camera they wish. There is no fee to participate, but you are responsible for your own lunch and drink. Our photowalk is presented by the Uncle Jonesy's Cameras and Safelight District Community Darkroom. Please go to our Facebook event page and let us know you plan to participate, and we'll see you on 10/07!

Next, Wayne and Kevin dive into the UJC mailbag for some questions, comments, tips, and stories from our faithful listeners. We absolutely love the feedback we get from our listeners, and we always learn something from them. If you enjoy listening to our podcast, then please send us a note and tell us your photography story, review your camera or film, ask us a question or send us a tip. We think of our podcast listeners as a community, so please feel free to participate. Once again, that email address is unclejonesyscameras@gmail.com. We also invite you to follow us on our Facebook and Instagram pages (both can be found by searching @ujcpodcast). 

Thanks for listening, and we hope to see you in Chattanooga on Saturday morning, October 7!
