Gabe spills the tea — about the cameras he’s hunting for as he rapidly rebuilds his collection — while Jeff spills the coffee. That’s it. He spills it. Then recounts a whirlwind European trip featuring a phantasmagoria of phenomenal photographica. New York, London, Paris, dry-dock — everybody talk about pop IDOC!
Jeff bought a camera bag! okay, he found a used Ona Union Street at B&H, but whaaaaat????
… then he went to London …
got an odd little book at The Photographer's Gallery on Analog Photography
visited Camera City, said hi to Pany, did not buy a Bronica RF645
visited Aperture Photographic, gaped at the amazing inventory, talked with Simon about photography with a Pentax Stereo Adapter, did not buy an absurd Contax Preview
visited Mr Cad, kibitzed with the legendary Alex Falk, did not buy a rare and tantalizing Wrayflex, once again got the book instead
… then on to Paris …
visited Photo-Vincent, met the man himself, drooled over a black Alpa 6c and the 30mm lens for the XPan
there was zero hand-check madness on this trip! we credit the Sissi Lu DO NOT X-RAY bag
the sainted John-Michael Mendizza sent Gabe a Rolleiflex 2.8c and Jeff a Zeiss Taxona
how’s Gabe getting on with his half-a-cookie Olympus Pen FT? he’s on frame 56…
the viewfinder’s a bit dim, so Jeff unfortunately altered him to the existence of the Pen FV
Gabe’s up to twenty cameras of his planned thirty-camera collection, and here are the items on his hit list:
Kiev 60 with Volna-3 lens
black Leicaflex SL
Pentax MX (he’s already got the 40mm pancake!)
a brassed black Nikon F
and the 35mm Sigma art lens for the Canon EOS 3
Gabe got a Yashicamat LM and a Minolta SRT-101 from Maria Elena Rodriguez
opened the time capsule camera bag, went back to the Palisades house with Brandon, and unearthed more cameras
Jeff has a final book recommendation: Tight Heads by Candy Clark
