I Dream of Cameras #26 Sexy MF

The rundown:

 

What the heck is a Pentax MF? A Perkeo? An AE-1? Okay, the last one’s no mystery, but HOP ON your podspeeder for a freewheeling episode featuring plenty of clapbacks from listeners, a bona fide in-person visit from a Sunny 16er, and the disposition of several long-nourished camera dreams.

• A bumper crop of listener mail
• Dream Team sweatshirts are now available
• A recap of our visit with John-Michael Mendizza, including a trip to Cam Photo in Burbank…
• …where Jeff bought a long-coveted Canon AE-1
• Our pilgrimage to Monte's Camera in Whittier, a veritable camera museum, where we learned about the mighty Voigtländer Perkeo
• The Electro Spotmatic is beyond repair, so bring on the strange and wonderful half-frame Pentax MF
• XPan fever has passed
• Panatomic-X auction — 20 rolls for $405! We're 20 years into the film-camera renaissance — is the supply of everything tightening?

I Dream of Cameras #25 Where have all the cameras gone?

• The mailbag!
• It's a New Year — once again, check your batteries and exercise your cameras!
• As of October 2021, Paul BG is no longer making The Thingy, so how do we replace the discontinued mercury 625 battery? The 675 hearing-aid battery plus either a #9 rubber O-ring or a #10 split lock washer
• Time for more controversy: do you use the self-timer?
• Jeff's Electro Spotmatic meter has failed, and when a camera isn’t working, he cannot have it in the house
• Our thrift-store odyssey: Where are all the film cameras? They’ve been camer-raptured!
• Where to sell stuff, other than eBay? OfferUp, Mercari, Facebook Marketplace, ShopGoodwill, Etsy...
• Jeff’s hunt for an XPan / Fujifilm TX
• Are digicams the new film? (see this Casual Photophile article)
• Books: Pentti Sammallahti’s Here, Far Away
• Finally: Gabe’s annual report from the IDOC corporate retreat

On Location: Music and Photography #1 With Billy Sanford and Clare Marie Bailey

Billy Sanford talks to members of the film photography community with a keen passion in music to explore where this interest intersects with and affects their passion for photography.

I Dream Of Cameras #21 Introspective / Camera Shop Boys

After a dip into our bulging mailbag, an introspective episode: Why do we second-guess ourselves? What keeps us from getting out and experimenting? Why are we afraid to take chances? How do we avoid becoming discouraged? Perhaps by asking a friend to shoot with us? Maybe photograph some elderly relatives? Trust two comedy writers to plumb your psyche and heal all ills. Finally, we wrap up with gear updates, and — at long last — our FABULOUS CONTEST where you can win FABULOUS PRIZES!
