Oh man! Travis Mortz(Past Podcast Guest) just released this video, going over just about every camera type from 35mm to 4x5. This is a great video to watch if your thinking about getting into film photography, or you're just looking for ideas on what camera to add to your collection next! Grab a beer, kick back, and take some notes... there will be a quiz at the end!
