Building A Better Barnack

Bringing It All Back Home podcast returns with a fresh look at why small choices can go a long way in rediscovering the joy in actually using Leica Barnack cameras.

Topics include: Oscar Barnack, Leica screw mount cameras, Vidom vs. Brightline viewfinders, Tessar designed lenses, Industar 50 3,5 collapsibles, Elmar vs Canon LTM, as well as the awesome repair work of Mr Y.
