    Classic Camera Revival - Episode 183 | In The Loupe: Paul RyBolt

    Joining James & Bill on today's show is noted long-time photographer and camera seller Paul RyBolt. Paul is one of several hosts on the Camerosity Podcast and is a wealth of knowledge from the camera retail world, collecting and using all sorts of cameras and film stocks. The conversation covers everything from the vast collections, including Kurt Igram's that Paul has helped sort through to shooting slide film, 6x9, Cibachrome, Corn Sweat, Stereo gear, Ansel Adams as a piano player, and single-malt scotch.

    Classic Camera Revival - Episode 182 - Dead Hand Cameras

    You will have to pry these cameras from our cold, dead hands! Yes, back in May, a group of bloggers released another coordinated set of blog posts outlining the five cameras you'll pry from our cold, dead hands! We thought that would be an excellent topic for CCR, so here we are! But we aren't just letting this stay in our hands; we also invited the Toronto Film Shooters Meetup group to join! And it's only fair that our first 'open source' episode includes the TFS, as that is the group that formed the foundation of this podcast!  The cameras in today's episode all seem to represent the personalities of the people who shoot them!

    Classic Camera Revival - Episode 181 | Reuniting the Clan

    It's been a while since we've done an entire episode dedicated to Canon cameras, and today, we have some real treats! We're discussing the earliest Canon cameras, those LTM rangefinders that put Canon on the map and, more importantly, Canon LTM glass; some talk about the AE-1 and AE-1 Programs and a little about choosing the right EOS camera for you. And if you are looking at getting into Canon's rangefinder line, Bill cannot recommend enough the wonderful book Canon Rangefinder Cameras 1933-68 by Peter Dechert! We're also welcoming a special guest who is no stranger to CCR; Alex Smith is back with his extensive collection of Canon LTM glass.

    Classic Camera Revival - Episode 179 | Seeing Beyond

    Infrared photography is one of the more unique niches of the hobby and can produce some amazing and wild images using light beyond our visible spectrum. In this episode, Alex digs into black-and-white infrared photography specifically. Infrared light is part of the overall electromagnetic spectrum, which includes our human visible light spectrum, which ranges from 380nm to 700nm or violet to red. Most infrared photography uses specialised film and filters to capture light between 700nm and 900nm. Today, we don't have dedicated IR films being newly produced like Kodak HIE, Efke IR820 or Konica Infrared 750, but we do have extended red sensitive films that can get into the near IR range. These films include Rollei Retro 80s, Rollei Superpan 200, Rollei Infrared, Rollei Retro 400s and FPP Black & White Infrared. These films have sensitivities beyond 700nm and between 740 to 750nm. Pairing these films behind a deep red (092/89b) or a true IR filter like a 093, RM90, or R72 filter will produce results typical of a traditional infrared film. You will have to consider the filter factory and over-expose your metering. You can use this website: www.fineart-photography.com to get started. Be prepared to spend a bit extra on the filters as a quality filter, which is an IR filter, will run at least 200 minimum for a quality unit.

    Classic Camera Revival - Episode 178 - Ilford Rhapsody

    We see a little silhouetto of a roll film, and for this episode, we're a little high, a little low because Ilford matters! Yes, this episode is a rhapsody of Ilford films, and we're going from Pan F+ to Delta 3200 and everything in between to discuss what we love about Ilford films, how we use them, development, and shooting them! But why are we focusing on Ilford? Well, that's simple! Ilford has made a constant effort to support the photography community in being able to produce film at scale for the modern market and is often less likely to increase costs. They have options that cover everyone's preferences and needs with a wide range of film speeds and styles and even two amazing budget films that punch well above their weight.

    Classic Camera Revival - Episode 176 - Box Camera Madness II

    The topic of box cameras hasn't been discussed in a great deal since our first season, so Alex is back with a solo episode about his box camera collection, both his historic cameras and a few modern cameras that may not look like those simple box cameras but are in the same theme. Cameras include several Agfa cameras (Box 50, Click II, Clack and Isoly Jr), a 1915 Kodak Hawk-Eye Model C and modern options like Holga, RETO, and Lomography cameras, from the cameras themselves to having fun and choosing films.
