Description

“So no one told you life was gonna be this way / Your Nikon’s in the shop, your XPan’s D.O.A....” Join Jeff and Gabe in Noo Yawk Cit-tay for a very special episode, featuring a schmear and a Dr. Brown’s and the most underrated Canon SLR of the modern era. We’ll be there for you!

Cameras of 1964:

the O.G. Leicaflex

the elusive Canon FX

the wildly undervalued Pentax SV

the freakish Nikkorex Auto 35

the large and unwieldy Koni-Omega Rapid

Gabe’s NYC photo walk with the great Sissi Lu

The team’s visit to B&H Photo (and Russ & Daughters) with Chris Chu

Jeff bought a Canon F-1 Lake Placid Olympics edition, the only classic-era Canon SLR he’s never owned

Comparing the XPan with the Minolta P’s: field of view and aspect ratio are quite similar!

Another roll-the-dice segment! Adapting this lens for that camera, and the worst camera we’ve ever used — fight us!

Plus a dip halfway down our prodigious mailbag!
