#01 Large Format 101

Lensless and Classic Lenses come together for episode one of a much awaited (cough) new podcast all about – you’ve guessed it Large Format Photography. 

The premise is deceptively simple, Simon plays the role of eager puppy, keen to impress the leg of great Aunt Flo and Andrew plays the role of senile Uncle Bulgaria trying to answer questions and often failing miserably. 

In episode #1 Simon asks some general introduction questions around definitions of Large Format, how to use a LF camera, components (we didn’t finish that section as Simon diverted the conversation) of a view camera, types of – and an inadequate answer to question about lenses and coverage for different formats. 

We agreed to get knowledgeable guests on in Months to come who knew what they were talking about.

 

So let’s see how this goes.
