I dream of Cameras #5

Jeff and Gabe are back with another brilliant episode of I dream of cameras!

 

Topics this week include:

• it’s a new year, check your batteries! How to replace the obsolete PX625: the MR-9 adapter, the Weincell, the 675 + paulbg ring, etc. • wrongly valued cameras (Minoltas, Konicas and Mirandas are treated like trash; Mamiya/Sekor is garbage while Mamiya is a treasure; Pentax K1000 overvalued while ME Super is undervalued; Canon AE-1 over, EF and A-1 under; Olympus OM-1 way under, etc.) • autofocus / point and shoot - is it real photography? • does handheld metering make you more of a photographer? • plastic / toy / Lomo cameras • Polaroid, Instax, One Instant (a disaster), Polaroid Chocolate • expired film - what’s so great? • bulk loading • Spotlight: the cameras we each irrationally and indefensibly love (Hasselblad 553ELX, Canon EF) • Thanks to Fred Coury for the music and Keith Greenstein for the logos
