Episode description
- thanks to the lords of Sunny 16, we now have our own podcast feed!
- a lightning round to empty our prodigious mailbag - limit one sentence per email!
- Gabe’s about to leave for New York Fashion Week - here's the final list of cameras he's bringing:
- Gabe's kit for a portrait shoot with Kal Penn: the R5, the Q and the M10
- to fund Gabe’s recent impulse buy of the Canon R5, he actually sold some stuff:
- a Contax T2 to Eoin Macken
- and a bunch of other gear (Hasselblad 503cx, Minolta Autocord, Leica R6.2) to our friends at LA Film Camera
- on the same trip, Jeff failed to unload a mint-in-box 90mm f2 Summicron ASPH with caps, case and original papers - any takers?
- Jeff’s about to make another trip to Atlanta and KEH — last time, he looked at a ton of cool stuff (thanks Sam) and came away with a 35mm Nikkor for his SP rangefinder
- this time he has his eye on a 35mm f2.8 PC-Nikkor tilt-shift lens to use with the XPan
- Jeff’s recent impulse buy: a Konica Acom-1 a.k.a. Autoreflex TC - what is “automatic” exposure, and why do we judge those who use it?
- the difference between shooting the Widelux (serendipitous) and the XPan (deliberate)
- no cameras allowed at the Malibu Chili Cookoff, and no cameras on tripods in LA's public parks! wtf?
- serial numbers - do you find them interesting? Jeff sure does!
- Jeff used the Paterson System 4 with its babyish plastic developing reels.. and he loved it!
- forty episodes in, what have we learned?
