The Photo Video Guy Podcast - Episode 20

This episode I look at the court decision around the ASMP and Google, check in on Leica and refer you to Steve Huff.  I'm surprised at the market value of IKEA's cardboard camera and relate a funny story about a stolen iPhone.  Then I suggest a couple of web articles, one from Pixiq on hyper-focal distance and one from Petapixel on the photography of Jack Robinson.  Next I cover news and rumours from Canon and Nikon, hit the updates from Adobe and close with a joint review of the Gary Fong Lightsphere and the Stroboframe.
