I dream of Cameras #6

Jeff and Gabe are back once more to delight us with their camera collecting stories and inspire us all to spend more money on cameras!

This weeks topic include:

• buying from Japan, pros and cons — the cameras look perfect, but… (Jeff's recent Pen W, Widelux and M-1 experiences)

 

• how to suss out a seller

 

• eBay and sales tax

 

• Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist - where to meet, how you know you’re not getting screwed, etc.

 

• user vs. mint condition - how many dents and scuffs can you tolerate?

 

• brassing, engraving, other sorts of wear (real and fake)

 

• painted cameras? customized cameras? yay or nay?

 

• what’s your perfect walkaround camera? what’s your travel kit?

 

• “one camera, one lens, one film stock” - what would you choose?

 

• Gabe brings three cameras to the grocery store

 

• camera repair - local? send it off? who’s your most trusted and why?

 

• originalism: is it uncool to use third-party lenses or accessories on your exotic vintage camera?

 

• Spotlight: the camera you feel the strongest emotional connection to (Leica M4, Olympus 35RC)

A conversation with Rachel about difficult times

This is not a podcast about photography, this is a podcast about Rachel and her life since the Summer of 2019.

Over the last 18 months, long time listeners to the Sunny 16 feed will have noticed that Rachel has not been present on the podcasts in the way she was before.

As our listeners are the best, and many people have asked after Rach and enquired about her wellbeing during this time, and more importantly because she's at a point where she feels able to talk about it, I virtually sat down with Rach to talk about her experiences over the last 18 months to explain her absences. 

Please know going in that this conversation is about Rachel and her partner Adam's attempts to have a child through IVF, and part of that journey was loss, so if this is likely to be upsetting to you, you might not want to listen. 

 

Thanks to everyone who's reached out to Rach and us over the last year with support and love, even though you didn't know what was up. The film photography community is one of the loveliest and most supportive collections of people out there. We always try to bring these values to our shows, and we hugely appreciate being a part of this awesome community

 

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

On FIlm #6 The Third Man with Mike Crawford

In this episode we talk to the photographer, author and specialist photographic printer

Mike Crawford about Carol Reeds 1949 film The Third Man.

 

We had some audio issues with this episode especially in the first third which we've done our best to edit out where we can. Despite this we think the conversation is still well worth sharing.
