Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #90: Everyone Needs a Filter (Or Do They?)

In this episode, Wayne and Kevin work through the subject of filters for film phtography. In the old days , filters were the next gear the camera store sales person tried to sell you after a camera and lenses. But are the that important? How often does Wayne (who has been shooting large format photography for over four decades) put a filter in front of his lens? You will be surprised by his answer. Nevertheless, filters have their place, and the right filter at the right time and place can make or break a picture (just ask Ansel Adams). Next, Kevin shares a tale of woe regarding a few rolls of Kentmere 400 that he recently shot and deveoped with the same workflow he's followed for years with other films. It seems that reading and following the instructions for each brand of film is much more important than Kevin had thought.  Don't forget that Wayne had a major retrospective show of fifty years of photography coming up.
