Summary
Welcome to Bokeh Face! In this episode: We take an In Focus look at the cameras we want to bring back from the dead. Mike advocates for a full-frame mirrorless camera inspired by the legendary Canon AE-1, while Chris picks the Olympus PEN-F and throws a curveball in the form of the long-forgotten Samsung Galaxy Camera. Then we Gear Up with the Nikon Z 70‑200mm f/2.8 VR S II, exploring the question: Why buy a Mark II lens? This prompts Chris to explain why old lenses could be throttling your camera’s resolution, while Mike discusses the new Nikon’s wealth of upgrades and muses whether or not they’re worthwhile. Finally, in Trouble Shooting , we take a deep dive into the world of affordable waterproof cameras. What’s out there? How much should you expect to spend? And what do you need to worry about when getting your pride and joy wet?
