Episode #215 IBIS for an X-Pro4? And Shiny Happy photographer
If you’re a cricket fan, this show comes with a health warning! Today we talk 365s, choosing film simulations according to light, website copywriting, choosing between the X-T3 and X-T4 and we ponder over IBIS in an X-Pro4?
Also, is the X-H1 a capable sports camera, will a photographic ban on mothers nursing their babies bring us ever closer to ’street’ censorship, what is percussion testing within a camera body and how do I buff out a scratch on my lens? Kev’s book of the week is Michael Stipe’s latest photography book and Chris Floyd is our archive interview.

Portraits of resilience and vulnerability, with QR-linked audio of comments and anecdotes from Stipe
In this third, photo-based chapter of the Damiani series, Michael Stipe explores strength, courage and vulnerability, pausing the project abruptly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. What follows is a lockdown interpretation of a 21st-century portrait, with a resolute desire to show our resilience, our humour, our collective fortitude and our adaptability.
