What do you think the best camera of the year is?

Could it possibly be a Pantax question mark?

Stephen, welcome to your last episode of 2026.

It's fuck.

2025.

I said it wrong.

You're definitely going to do another one before the end of the year.

Guarantee it.

Well, I have to say your last episode, just in case Jared gets bored being a Jew around Christmas. 100% you're going to be bored, day one. Like, what am I, well, I have to go to the house. December 25th. What am I going to do today? How about a podcast? Well, on the 25th, that's Christmas, right? Yes. I go to my brother's house in the morning before the kids get awake.

And I, I'm downstairs waiting to take their pictures before they come downstairs.

I've been doing it since they were since they got the kids, which was like, they were two and a half adopted.

So maybe for their second, right when they were turning three.

So almost 10, well, they just turned 11. So 11, about nine years, eight years of doing this. And even, even during the

pandemic, I stood out front as they stood on the stairs and I shot through the window, which is a

really good. I really, and that was, I was using Sony at that time. That was an A1. That was a really good photo of them. I mean, I was disappointed. I couldn't go in. But then I was like, but this is a really, like, it's a, the photo is a meaningful thing because of what was happening. It's a nice, creepy voyeur shot. Well, but it looks really good.

And so the kids know to wait for me at the top of the stairs.

And then I say, go ahead.

And then my brother has these really bad flickering lights on.

So I should probably try to balance it with the flicker reduction this year.

And I probably will take the R1 and I use a 28 to 70.

So whatever. But anyway, and you're fully electronic shutter on that camera, correct? Yeah, I never use the,

I don't even think about turning on the mechanical shutter of any camera anymore. Hmm, I'm the opposite.
