Canon 6 DIY front wheel repair

Canon 6DIY: I have two Canon 6Ds, one mark 1, and one mark2, both of their front wheel control dials have become stuck over the years. I think it's a thing with the Canon 6D, and you seem to hear about it a lot. Since I like to tinker with electronics, I thought it was time I attempted a DIY repair on my beloved mark 1 body. If I am successful, (I told myself) I can then make an attempt on my mark2 body. This upload is all about that first attempt to repair my main events camera myself, as the repair cost to get it done by a professional was around £350 UK. Nuts right!… Anyway here goes…

The time has finally come!… I've been rocking the Canon M50 virtually as an everyday carry since 2018. I use it interchangeably as a street camera with my Canon 6D, and 6Dmk2 which I tend to cycle through month-by-month. I love the quality that the full frame cameras bring, but I always somehow return to the crop frame M50, with surprise and enjoyment. It's a fun little camera! I've used it so ...

Is 20mm a good focal length to use for street photography?… If so, why don't more photographers talk about shooting this focal length? In this episode, we look at my latest purchase, the Canon 20mm f2.8 lens, which has been around since it's release in 1992. WOY!… I've always wanted to try this lens on the streets, but it has had it's fair share of bad reviews on RUclips, which has put me off u...

Valve Amplifier Restoration Project

Rummaging around in my Attic recently, I came across this mystery Console valve Amplifier. I vaguely recall putting it up there in storage, for a future date, possibly to restore, sometime back in the 1980s. Today I decided that it was time to take up the challenge, to engage the long-awaited, much needed, restoration process on this unit. This project became my first upload of 2024… As a Multi...

Episode #139 - 7 Artisans 12mm f2.8 Ultra wide, manual focus EFM mount for the Canon M50. I have been slowly downsizing my gear for those little events that do not require the big heavy guns of the full-frame dslrs, and came across this offering. Was it any good?… Watch and find out!…

It must have been the Universe that guided me to go down one particular back street, that I don't normally go down in Brixton, as the main street was cordoned off by police, after a particularly bad traffic accident. This is where I bumped into D. Bowen Hedricks, a Leica shooter who I'd never previously met, and hadn't even heard of, who was on holiday from the USA, and also guided down this pa...

Episode #131 - In 2022 we seem to be going through a bit of a resurgence of classic DSLR cameras of the last decade, judging by the current RUclips uploads in the photography space. This is definitely the time of the Mirrorless camera, or so we are told, by those photography channels that are constantly pushing the bleeding edge tech onto us. Yet here we are in the first quarter of 2022, and th...
