  • 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:

  • 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?
