Episode 96 • Here’s What We've Been Up To
About this episode
Jeff and Gabe share updates on their photography adventures, discuss challenges in the hobby, and reflect on recent events.
Is it enough for these two “middle-aged men” to merely share “what they’ve been up to”? One peevish iTunes reviewer doesn’t think so! But for the rest of you, tune in to this XL episode to hear the felicitous end of Jeff’s half-frame Alpa saga, news of Gabe’s bag-quisitions and camera meetups, a screed about how the new tariffs are crippling our hobby, a impassioned defense of free speech, and so much more! rejoice, for Jeff’s half-a-cookie Alpa 10s finally arrived! not only that, after he emailed the CEO of UPS , he got a personal response and an apology! Gabe loves his supersnazz Bleu de Chauffe camera tote, yet couldn’t resist snapping up Jeff’s cheap Strand Bookstore messenger bag as well Gabe (along with Rafael Hernandez ) went to the Susan Meiselas event at the Aero Theatre… …and crashed the LA Camera Exchange meetup from imstilldeveloping.com and Fridge Film the new hot camera is the Nikonos V — clearly the IDOC effect in action! Jeff has been kitting out his new Polaroid GOOSE … …but finds a 50mm lens a bit too tele-ish on the Alpa 10s, since a half-frame focal length × 1.44222 = full-frame, so he put in an offer on a 40mm Kilfitt Makro-Kilar guess what? we got another…
