My Advent Wish #13

As I plan, work on, and print my photographic projects I make notes on what works, how it works, and how I’d like things to work (for me). This post is one of my 2025 Advent Wishlist Calendar. If you are a camera/lens/accessory manufacturer, feel free to implement those ideas.

Dear Santa,

Please find some gold coins behind your sofa to re-hire people who can design physical products with good ergonomics. The current trend to iterate on the design of a brick is driven by the expectation that every camera is a potential video camera that needs another £200-£1,000 in thumb grips, brackets, and cages.

This needs to stop.
