Episode 66 • To the Bathyscaphe‪!‬ I Dream of Cameras

    • Visuell konst

It’s a voyage to the bottom of the Prodigious Mailbag™ on our Smash Hit Podcast™, but before that there’s talk of the year in photography 1957, the revived Southern California camera show, Jeff’s trip to the Caribbean with a sexy Swede and also his girlfriend, eBay execs sending pig fetuses to their critics, and so much more!

* Jeff made yet another major math error! 64 is 2 cubed
* Sorry, but Parenting Hell is not a smash hit podcast
* Gabe presents The Year in Focus 1957:
* Nikon SP
* Ilford Sportsman
* Hasselblad 500C
* Kodak Retina Reflex
* Concava Tessina watch camera TLR
* Leica M2 (for real) which when new went for $276, or $2,884.37 in today’s dollars
* Arsenal Salyut
* Asahi came out with the original Pentax
* Olympus Wide E
* Gabe went to the new Huntington Park camera show (very exciting) and nearly bought a Contax T
* Jeff visited 5R Photo Lab in New York and met proprietor Alec
* A trip to St. Barth’s, French West Indies occasioned the return of the XPan, and a love affair was reignited
* Jeff shot with both Portra 400 and 160… and liked 160 better!
* Gabe visited Jeff and P in NYC, went to B&H Photo, bought nothing…
* …but then ordered an Exa 1B and a Helios-44 lens
* Mint unveiled their coming-soon Rollei 35AF — apparently anyone can license the name “Rollei” for a buck fifty — but who needs this thing?
* A bunch of eBay execs were creepy criminals
* Jeff got a cool Minox film slitter from camerhack.it
* Check out RitchieCam, a camera app for iPhone with an XPan emulation mode
* A dive so deep into our Prodigious Mailbag™ that it requires a bathyscaphe
* Gabe wants to hear about online photography websites you love - blogs, magazines, whatever
