As I'm writing the opening to this week's Conversing Cameras, I have a cookbook with some of the most incredible food photography sitting in front of me. Hundreds of photos from Jim's most recent publication covering Authentic Mexican food comprise this recent publication.

In this edition of Conversing Cameras, we share close friends of Camera West's photography and story as we talk photography, gear, life, and the nexus connecting all of these particulars. Danny Bligh and I talk cameras nearly every day, it seems.

The GFX line of cameras has come a long way since the GFX 50s. Fujifilm's "better than full-frame" approach to medium format photography has them doing things with the medium format camera that not many have done in this space.

We took a look at the Leica M10-R in Black Paint. This particular camera is going to be limited to 2000 units worldwide. Internally this is the same thing as a Leica M10-R but camera comes with the special Black Paint Finish.

Panasonic has added another lens to their L mount compact lens lineup: the new Lumix S 50mm f1.8 lens.

The Panasonic GH5 Mark II Mirrorless Camera may look identical to the GH5 except for some splashes of red added and some other minor changes. Most of the main changes on this new camera are internal because of the new processor added to the camera. Here we will review some of these improvements.

Ever wonder the difference between shooting a wide angle lens vs telephoto lens? Here we we will discuss some examples of 18mm and 135mm lenses. While we are using Leica M lenses on a Leica SL2-S Camera, these principles apply to lenses from different manufactures. Carlo Velasquez, a photographer and employee at Leica Store SF, explored the streets of San Francisco using both Wide Angle and Telephoto Lenses.
