In this episode: We take an In Focus look at Yashica’s “chassied-up” FX-D 100, 300 and S300, fixed-lens compact cameras that look – to the untrained eye – like the sexy, old-fashioned SLR cameras of yesteryear, while touching upon the huge range of retro-style compact cameras available from other brands. But are they capable little cameras or little more than a gimmick? And who are they actually for? Then we Gear Up with OM System’s brand-new OM-3 Astro, a dedicated astrophotography version of the retro-cool OM-3 with a modified Infrared Cut Filter. Following a discussion about previous astro cameras such as the Canon EOS 20D and Nikon D810A, James and Chris discuss why astro-centric cameras exist and why some photographers choose them over a still-capable standard offering. Finally, in Trouble Shooting , the Bokeh Face boys tackle the best lenses for portrait photography, delving deeper than the tried-and-tested 85mm, by exploring a few strategic alternatives – and a few curveballs – along with examples of their use cases.
