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

A handheld camera with a handheld meter:  The Reveni Labs Incident Meter

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!

The Reveni Labs Incident Meter has an easy to read display. The "joystick"
will switch the mode from incident to reflected.

When in reflective mode, simply point the lens toward your subject to get
a reading similar to what your built-in meter would have given you.

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.

You definitely should check out Friend of the Show Mike Kukavica's photography, which can be found here.

Wayne uses the QuickDisc tool to calculate bellows extention compensation, and you can too! All you have to do is print the tool found here and follow the intsructions. Thanks to Philipp Salzgeber for creating the QuickDisc!

We finish with more talk of our Third Annual Photowalk with Wayne and Kevin, which will happen in October. The event is scheduled for Saturday, October 26, and the location will be Fort Southwest Point near Kingston, Tennessee.

Happy Photography!
