Sunny 16 Presents

Alex and Emma are back with their fourth episode! In this episode we tackle the difficult and dangerous world of DMs in the film space. We talk about some of the toxic experiences we have had, share some stories from our listeners, and cover some of our golden rules on how to send a good DM (and not end up on our blocked list!). Enjoy!

• 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:
  • Leica Q
  • Canon R5
  • Leica M10
  • Widelux F7
  • Rolleiflex 2.8F
  • Yashica T4
• 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?

Alex and Emma are back for episode three to discuss an age old question in film photography, does gear really matter? In this episode we get into the nitty gritty of elitism in film, talk about the experiences we have had with film snobs, and the changing landscape of the film industry (the good, the bad and the ugly).
