  • #304: One body one lens, stripping gear down!
    Aug 25 2025

    Shhhh, don’t tell Gemma, but Kev’s got GAS and he’s starting a cider business! That surely won’t help! This time it’s a telescope, and we reckon at FujiCast HQ he’s hidden it in one of those shopping bags he keeps to sneak new gear into the house. On the show today, a little more on connecting cameras to telescopes, standing desks for your health, should I change my primes for one single zoom to go one body one lens, video tips including grading and sound. What non-Fujifilm gear would the boys entertain in their kit bags, stuff they might go back to or buy brand new? Turns out Kev may take a dalliance with a red dotted camera from that question.

  • #303: Upgrade my X-Pro? and how to use IBIS
    Aug 4 2025

    In the midst of Summer with Kev sunning himself by a Spanish pool until 2027 the boys answer your questions about everything Fujifilm and beyond. This week, what are Kev and Neale planning to photograph in their retirement?! What is this R word? Do creatives ever truly retire? Also, being a creature of habit with the scenes you know, to travelling abroad with your lens - with a greater sense of adventure. We talk about travel photography, how to work with IBIS, problems with command dials, the upcoming Fujikina Photo Festival event in London, making cider, and what advantages do I really get by upgrading an older X-Pro system?

  • #302: 22 priests, a scorpion, and FUJIKINA LONDON ’25
    Jul 21 2025

    Kev’s off to Spain, so he’s understandably winding down, and after spending time photographing 22 priests, it’s probably just the break he needs.

    On the show, the regular spiky subject of Adobe subscription increases and how we deal with the rises and price of life, plus are there alternatives to popular platforms like Lightroom and Photoshop? Also, what can be improved with new cameras, they’re all practically perfect aren’t they, so is it worth constantly updating our cameras? Sony v Fujicast focusing, London’s upcoming Fujikina event, storing jpeg recipes, is social media replacing the need for a website, and is it worth buying an X-Pro3 in 2025?

  • #300: Found by Robots: Why your photography website is disappearing!
    Jun 23 2025

    We’ve reached 300 episodes! What’s changed since the first one, from a time we didn’t even see a pandemic coming?

    Well, for a start, the DSLR has quietly taken its place in the museum, while Kodak, CineStill, and Fujifilm ramped up film production, as demand for analogue exploded again; turns out grain never really went out of fashion. Medium format isn’t chained to a tripod anymore either. With Fujifilm’s GFX line, photographers are now shooting huge resolutions on something that fits in a shoulder bag.

    Oh, and then there’s AI. In 2019, you might rightly have shouted, “A WOT?” Now it’s the invisible hand behind how clients and an audience find you. With more people using AI to search instead of scrolling Google pages, your website, your words, your presence, they all need to speak a language that machines can read, as well as humans.

    Also on the show, Kev’s Driving School has started its engine, AI writes us some poetry, things to change on your website to allow AI to seek you, what to say when a client asks to see the raw photos from a shoot, buying the latest GFX, film photography borders on your website, and SCRL.

    Jun 9 2025

    GFX100RF dynamic range discussed and hopefully solved, pricing strategy and how we’d launch our photography businesses if we were starting again today - what would we do differently?

  • #298: SECRET: The BEST but most underrated used Fuifilm camera. Shhh, tell no-one!
    May 26 2025

    Neale is trying to cheer Kev up, who is sitting in a blacked out room in beautiful Malmesbury, counting down the hours, minutes and seconds until he can escape the UK for the sunnier climes of España! On the show, the boys discuss using Pictime as an art gallery, software solutions for back-up, the foto app, fixing up a retiring camera, the best compact camera in the Fujifilm range to travel with, switching to video using an X-T4, and we also feature the Zine work of Adam Ramjean, as he photographs the Notting Hill Carnival.
