The US government has begun to impose high tariffs on goods brought in from nearly every country in the world. Since most camera gear is made in Japan and China, what does this mean for the industry and, more important, for your own purchasing decisions? Since the policies are changing by the day, we decided to release this episode a week early.

WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send us a textCIOs are pivotal to successful business transformation, serving as the bridge between equipment IT, product IT, and corporate IT to create a unified and agile technology ecosystem. Achieving this coherence requires more than technical oversight—it demands a strategic mindset rooted in business value. Tools like Signavio and LeanIX have become essential in this effort, enabling CIOs to map and model business processes, identify redundancies, and ensure clear ownership across the IT landscape. These platforms not only enhance visibility but also support cross-functional alignment and better resource utilization. However, the true power of Enterprise Architecture lies in its ability to drive adaptability and collaboration among stakeholders. CIOs must champion EA not just as a framework, but as a transformative force that connects technology initiatives to tangible business outcomes. Past failures highlight the dangers of poor communication and lack of executive buy-in, where even well-designed EA strategies can result in underused systems or disconnected goals. Ultimately, CIOs who align IT with dynamic business needs and foster a culture of agility are best positioned to lead through change and deliver long-term value.In this episode, Sam Gupta engages in a LinkedIn live session with Martin Mohr, CIO, RAFI Group in a live LinkedIn session and discusses business transformation from the lenses of a CIO.Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs. rocks or elevatiq.com.

Scott Evans is a photographer based in the Bay Area of the USA. His portrait and commercial work is fantastic and I loved talking to him about his start in photography, the lenses he loves his favourite photography podcast ;)More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you'll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I'm interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.
With the bonkers success of the Fujifilm X100VI, it seemed only a matter of time before Fuji made a compact camera based around its GFX medium format line. That's the recently-announced GFX100RF, a new compact-ish, 100 megapixel, fixed-lens, $5,000 camera. We look at the inventions and the tradeoffs incorporated into this high-res entrant into the compact field.

In this special episode of Focus Check, Nino Leitner is joined by cinematographer and educator Tal Lazar, known for his work with AFI, Columbia University, Sundance, and MZed. Together, they dive deep into what it really takes to become a visual storyteller in today's rapidly changing film industry. Can cinematography truly be taught? Is film school still worth the cost? Why do we obsess over gear when storytelling is the goal? And how can filmmakers bridge the intimidating gap between creativity and technology? Tal shares insightful and often provocative thoughts on education, collaboration, and why the best cinematographers are also great communicators. He also talks about his highly rated MZed courses (The Art & Science of Lenses, Cinematography for Directors and The Language of Lighting), his new podcast VISIUM, and his upcoming book The Language of Cinematography.

HT2206 - Fast Lenses Are Less Important to Me Now Such fascinating technological times we live in! I used to fret and fuss over the fastest lens I could buy in order to keep the ISO as low as possible and the depth of field shallow. But now with DeNoise and Lens Blur via software, I'm perfectly comfortable with a slower lens. Software doesn't work every time, but it does enough times and I don't feel it's necessary to own those really fast lenses.
Adobe has released Photoshop for iPhone, a bonafide version of real Photoshop, not to be confused with Photoshop Express or other earlier variations. We take a look at this new app with one main question in our minds: Who is this for? A programming note: Toward the end of the episode we talk about using the Remove tool in Photoshop and Lightroom, but Jeff forgot to take screenshots. When he tried to reproduce the same actions later, he didn't get the same results as described while we were doing it. So we apologize that we don't have visuals to accompany what we're describing.

God wants us to have a set of glasses on as we look at life that are colored with kingdom lenses. Lenses that are seeing things as he colors them, as he, God, perceives them, as God directs them, as God wants them understood. Far too many of God's people are wearing cultural glasses, or racial glasses, or class glasses, or personality glasses and they see things through the lens of those particular perspectives. God has a set of glasses that he wants us to wear as we look at life, kingdom lenses designed to give you kingdom vision. That is, vision from God's rule, the kingdom is the rule of God. The kingdom agenda is the visible manifestation of that rule over every area of life. He wants you to look at every area of life through his lenses. This is an educational message by Dr. Tony Evans, one of my favorite Teachers. Jaggy, Tedi, and Felix thank you for tuning in and SHARING!

Tommy Ga-Ken Wan, a Scottish photographer based in Glasgow who I struck up a conversation with on social media when he picked up a Ricoh GR a few years back. Over the years I've admired his work in the arts photographing theatre and dance and some comedy greats. He's even recently featured in some work himself. Tommy speaks to me not only as a photographer but also as a person who is aware of what they need to keep themselves centred and I really enjoyed this thoughtful conversation with a great photographer.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you'll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth.

Jess is a Canadian photographer, my second one of those in fact, whose work I came across via the brilliant I Dream of Cameras. She has shot Formula 1 on film and has a love of fixed lens medium format, something which if the rumours are true, could make a comeback some time this year. I was delighted to talk to someone who thinks carefully about documenting life through a lens as well as being honest in their writing about creative burnout and the pressure we can put on ourselves, something I've been thinking about a lot lately too.

On this week's episode we welcome David Young, photographer and author of the new book A Brief History of Photography: From the Very Beginning to the Age of Digital. It may feel like photography is only a little more than a hundred years old, but the principles of the art, from lens design to chemistry, have been around for centuries. We had a great conversation about things that surprised David while researching the book, the long obsession with ultra-wide apertures, and more. Author photo courtesy of Alex Hurst (Ireland).

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: From Lenses to Living: Arjun's Heartfelt Journey Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2025-02-22-23-34-01-hi Story Transcript:Hi: बर्फीली हवाएँ चल रही थीं जब अर्जुन ने अपनी आँखों के सामने अमाल्फी तट को देखा।En: The icy winds were blowing as Arjun laid his eyes on the Amalfi Coast.Hi: सर्दियों के इस मौसम में भी कार्निवल की धूमधाम यहां हर किसी को खींच लाती थी।En: Even in this winter season, the carnival's fanfare drew everyone here.Hi: अर्जुन की आंखों के सामने खुशियों से भरी दुनिया थी, पर उसके दिल में खालीपन था।En: Before Arjun's eyes was a world full of joy, yet there was emptiness in his heart.Hi: वह जानता था कि वर्षों की फोटोग्राफी ने उसे उसके परिवार से दूर कर दिया था।En: He knew that years of photography had distanced him from his family.Hi: कई रंगीन मास्क, संगीत की धुनें, और लोगों का हंसी-मजाक... सब उसके चारों तरफ थे।En: Many colorful masks, the tunes of music, and the jokes of people... all were around him.Hi: उसे एक बड़ा निर्णय लेना था - उसे अपने परिवार के साथ रहना था या फिर वापस काम पर लौटना था।En: He had to make a big decision - should he stay with his family or go back to work?Hi: मीरा और रवि, उसके परिवार के प्यारे सदस्य, उसे देखकर खुश हुए।En: Meera and Ravi, his beloved family members, were happy to see him.Hi: मीरा ने उसे गले लगाया और कहा, "भैया, हम तुम्हें बहुत मिस करते हैं।"En: Meera hugged him and said, "Brother, we miss you a lot."Hi: लेकिन रवि थोड़ा खफा दिखा।En: But Ravi looked a little upset.Hi: वह जानता था कि अर्जुन अक्सर उनकी गैरमौजूदगी के कारण उन पर गुस्सा होता है।En: He knew that Arjun often got angry with them due to their absence.Hi: सुबह के समय, परेड के बीच में अर्जुन ने रवि को देखा।En: In the morning, amidst the parade, Arjun saw Ravi.Hi: दोनों ने बात की, और अर्जुन ने पहली बार अपने दिल की बात कही।En: They talked, and for the first time, Arjun spoke from his heart.Hi: "रवि, मैं जानता हूँ कि मैंने तुम्हें कई बार निराश किया।En: "Ravi, I know I have disappointed you many times.Hi: लेकिन आज मैं तुम्हारे साथ हूँ।En: But today, I am here with you.Hi: मैं सब कुछ बदलना चाहता हूँ।"En: I want to change everything."Hi: रवि ने गर्दन से गले लगाते हुए कहा, "सबसे जो जरूरी है वही तो है, कि तुम यहाँ हो।"En: Ravi hugged him around the neck and said, "What matters most is that you are here."Hi: उन रंगीन धुनों और पर्व के रंगों के बीच, अर्जुन ने अपना कैमरा नीचे रखा।En: Amid those colorful tunes and the hues of the festival, Arjun put down his camera.Hi: उसने महसूस किया कि कुछ पल खुद जीना ज्यादा जरूरी है।En: He realized that living some moments for himself was more important.Hi: पूरे परिवार के साथ उन्होंने कार्निवल का खूब आनंद लिया।En: Together with the whole family, they relished the carnival.Hi: अर्जुन ने अपने दिल में ठान लिया था कि अब उसे जीवन के इन असली पलों का अनुभव करना है।En: Arjun resolved in his heart that he now had to experience these real moments of life.Hi: वह काम और अपने प्रियजनों के बीच संतुलन बना पाए, यही उसकी नई शुरुआत थी।En: Striking a balance between work and his loved ones was his new beginning.Hi: वह जान गया था कि पुरानी यादों को कैमरे में कैद करने से अधिक महत्वपूर्ण है उन्हें खुद जीना।En: He understood that living those memories was more important than capturing them with a camera.Hi: अमाल्फी तट से विदा लेते समय अर्जुन ने महसूस किया कि उसके अंदर के फोटोग्राफर ने नए तरीके से जीना सीख लिया है।En: As Arjun bid farewell to the Amalfi Coast, he realized that the photographer within him had learned to live in a new way.Hi: अब वह अपनी आँखों से, दिल से, और यादों के गहरे रंगों से जीवन को देख रहा था।En: Now, he was seeing life through his eyes, heart, and the deep colors of memories.

We return with yet another exciting episode of the Camerosity Podcast. For Episode 86, we dip into the listener mailbag and select a topic you all have told us you wanted to hear about, adapting vintage lenses. Taking an old film camera lens and mounting it to a modern digital camera isn't exactly anything new, as adapting lenses from one mount to another camera has been done since the early 20th century. But what about the crazy number of lenses that weren't meant to be adapted? How about uncommon Angenieux lenses from French Kodak Retinettes, photocopier lenses, or astronomy telescopes? If it has glass and it focuses light, it can be adapted, and that's what got us going on this episode. Joining Anthony, Paul, Theo, and Mike are returning callers, AJ Gentile, Miles Libak, Nick Marshall, Pat Casey, Patrick Rapps, Ray Nason, Stephen Strangeway, Will Pinkham, and first time callers Alyssa Micha, David Jentz, and Rollin Banderob. On this episode, we talk about a huge number of lenses we mount to various digital and film cameras, but Alyssa starts us off with an ambitious project of adapting 35mm lenses to a Crown Graphic Graflex press camera, Stephen gives us some education on flange distance, why the Nikon Z mirrorless camera is ideally suited for adapting lenses, and Theo gives us his thoughts on how well a Mamiya press lens performs on micro 4/3rds. We discuss whether it is wise to spend extra money on premium adapters vs the cheap Chinese ones you can find on eBay, David Jentz talks about adapting DKL mount lenses and the struggles to find a good DKL adapter, and why you need to be concerned with image circle size when picking lenses from differing formats. Miles Libak shares with us a purchase he just made of a Contarex lens mount converted Canon F-1, and Paul talks about the best adapters to use for adapting Nikon rangefinder lenses to modern digital cameras. This episode proved that a relatively simple topic of adapting lenses included a deep wormhole into a huge amount of combinations of lenses including Paul's tip on how to remove a stuck Leica M to LTM adapter. For those of you who can't get enough of the Camerosity Podcast and would like the chance to meet 3/4 of the hosts, Anthony, Paul, and Mike will be at the Cincinnati Camera show in West Chester, Ohio on Saturday, March 22nd! If you have nothing going on that day and can make it to the Cincinnati area, come and join us! As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you! Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show. We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, the Camerosity Discord server, and right here on mikeeckman.com. We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. For our next episode, we are are taking another suggestion from you all and dedicating a whole show to the Kodak Retina and other cameras made by Kodak AG, the German arm of Kodak in Stuttgart, Germany. We will be welcoming author and Kodak Retina expert David Jentz, along with Kodak historian from the Eastman Kodak Museum, Todd Gustavson to talk with us. This will be a closed episode, so we won't be taking any callers for this one, but rest assured, the Camerosity gang has a long list of great questions to ask our esteemed guests. Episode 87 will be recorded soon and should be available by the end of February.

Most of us photographers are very particular about maintaining our tools. Lenses need to be stored in dry, temperature-controlled, padded places to prevent scratches mold growing between the elements, or even something like oil leaking between the elements. We take great care to ensure that our cameras are well-protected if it is raining, or we might even avoid taking photographs that day simply to prevent damage to our equipment. Some of us invest lots of money in camera bags to keep our equipment armored, dry, and safe, even on the roughest of trips. But what about the most important tool of all?

Photographers love to accessorize their cameras, and the iPhone is no different. A case is one thing, but what about other photo-centric add-ons? Should you buy an extra-wide or telephoto lens that snaps in front of the built-in cameras? What about grips and shutter buttons that make the iPhone feel more like a traditional camera? We weigh in with our opinions and experiences with these types of embellishments. (And Jeff accidentally uses the B-word.)

No harsh chemicals, no wasteful spree, Eco-friendly warrior, you set us free. Oh microfiber cloth, so light yet strong, In your service, we find where we belong. For every streak erased, every speck undone, You are the unsung hero of everyone. So here's to you, oh fabric divine, A marvel of science and design. May your threads endure and ever thrive, For in your care, our homes come alive.

In this episode I dive into the fascinating world of Ortho-K lenses—special contact lenses that reshape the cornea overnight to correct vision without the need for daytime glasses or contacts. I discuss the pros and cons of this vision correction method, who it's best suited for, and potential risks. I also covers the dangers of contaminated eye drops due to recent recalls, the ongoing hospital strikes impacting healthcare, and the innovative use of amniotic membrane transplants in ophthalmology. Takeaways: Ortho-K Lenses for Vision Correction: Dr. Flannery explains how orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses work by gently reshaping the cornea overnight, providing clear vision without glasses or contacts during the day. Contaminated Eye Drops Recall: A recent recall of generic eye drops due to fungal contamination highlights the importance of using reputable brands and practicing good hygiene when applying eye medications. Hospital Strikes and Their Impact: Ongoing strikes by healthcare workers are affecting hospitals nationwide, raising concerns about patient care quality and medical staff burnout. Amniotic Membrane Transplants in Eye Care: Dr. Flannery explains how amniotic tissue is used in ophthalmology to treat severe eye injuries and promote corneal healing in complex cases. The State of Healthcare Today: With his trademark humor, Dr. Flannery reflects on current challenges in the healthcare system, from physician burnout to patient frustrations, and what changes could improve the future of medical care. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

In this episode of the Weekly Jay Ewing and Thomas Milburn discuss the transition from the Advent season back to the study of First Corinthians, specifically addressing Paul's exploration of eating meat sacrificed to idols. The conversation highlights how Paul emphasizes decision-making through four key lenses: the impact on the church, on unbelievers, on personal freedom, and ultimately on the glory of God. The speakers also reflect on the temptation faced by the Corinthian church, encouraging listeners to remember the resurrection of Jesus as the foundation for making choices that build up the community of believers. Ultimately, they underscore the importance of staying connected to God and community to avoid the pitfalls of temptation and idolatry, linking personal struggles to a broader understanding of God's presence and grace. 00:00 - Welcome to The Weekly 02:55 - The Calvary Cup 05:26 - 4 Lenses of Paul's Letter to the Romans 10:28 - First Corinthians: The Test of Spiritual Blessing 15:40 - Paul on Praying for a Spiritual Blessing 17:32 - Paul's Old Testament Hermeneutic 21:54 - The Meaning of Jesus' Words 22:14 - The Temptation in Chapter 10 23:25 - Hebrews 4, The Way Out 24:57 - Choosing the Right to Do Things 26:29 - Temptation in the Gospel 28:23 - How to Get Out of Temptations 29:37 - Paul's Letter to the Corinthian Church 31:36 - Conclusion You can find more episodes of The Weekly at calvarybible.com/theweekly.
