Fuji @ PhotoPlus NYC
As we previously discussed in episode 118, an announcement was expected from the Fuji camp for a new lens and TC. Fujifilm has since officially announced said new lens and 1.4x teleconverter. One of the fujirumors.com users is at PhotoPlus and had a chance to get a hands on perspective of the two new items. Check out the quick report!
Story Time with an Edmonton Fan Favourite
84 year old Wally Franiel from Classic Camera Exchange in Edmonton, Alberta, is a living legend for analog photographers, some could say. Mac dropped by the unique shop last week for a chat with a man who has seen it all. We definitely encourage you to listen to the bonus story-time moment between Wally and Mac at the end of the show. Enjoy the interview!

Hey Guy’s ,
Great show. I skipped Photo Plus this year so no info for you but I am looking forward to the 1.4 x teleconverter for Fuji as I have the 40-150 and plan on getting the 100-400 when it is finally released. 🙂 I have no interest in the new 35mm as I have the old one and am quite happy with it. I loved the interview with Wally. We can learn so much from the old dudes! Funny stuff. Great pictures by the way. Thanks again for all you do! Waiting to tune in next time. 🙂

Yes it will be a sad day. His store is the only one in town, and Wally is a great guy with a lots of knowledge.
