Reveni Labs, with Matt Bechberger

CameraClara.Com Podcast ·

2026/09/29

Matt Bechberger studied electronics engineering and owned fifteen or twenty old cameras with selenium meters that had slowly died over sixty years. The cameras kept working while the meters went quiet. So he designed a tiny hot shoe meter, put it on Kickstarter, and it did well enough that he quit his job. That’s how Reveni Labs started. Today he designs every circuit board and enclosure himself, builds prototypes with a soldering oven and a microscope, and calibrates each unit against a Sekonic

I decided to record a video for this post because it’s hard to convey all that in text form. As Marshall McLuhan used to say, the medium is the message, so a video is more effective than text this time. I’m glad Substack supports it all!The trick is to use the camera’s mobile app and configure accessibility shortcuts to control your phone with voice. From there, you gain a live preview and the ability to press the shutter button with a spoken keyword.In my case, the keyword was “Click.”Let me know

EmberFilm: a first look at a new negative conversion app

2026/06/24

Converting your own scans is the part of film photography nobody puts on a postcard. I scan with the film borders, so a big chunk of my time goes into cropping, rotating, fixing the rebate, then moving the file from one piece of software to another because the white balance broke or the gamma got encoded wrong somewhere along the way. It works. It’s also a small pile of hacks I’ve made peace with over the years.So when Yahya Rahhawi reached out about a converter he’s building, I was curious in a

2026/04/14

Last week I had Max Adams on the Photography Community Camera Clara livestream/podcast. He runs a YouTube channel with almost 80,000 subscribers (as April 2026, important to say, because it’s growing fast!). Max is known professionally for doing restaurants/food and real estate photography, and on his own time he’s a film photographer like us. We showed up wearing the same hat. We talked for over an hour and covered a lot of ground.Find the full episode in this post’s header. Below, some highlights

Felt like one of those rare sessions where everything lines up.Got home, pulled the SD card, plugged it in. Nothing. Completely empty. No error message, no corrupted files, just blank. I still have no idea what happened, and at this point I’ve accepted I never will. I think it was my storage USB that

How I transformed the slow, often tedious process of film scanning into an efficient and enjoyable workflow. Inspired by Henry Ford’s principles of industrial efficiency, I optimized my scanning setup using batch processing, automation, and a Stream Deck to streamline repetitive tasks. By scanning in batches and editing entire rolls together, I achieve more consistent results while making the process faster and less frustrating. Switching from SilverFast’s unreliable color grading to Negative Lab
