He wouldn’t…. Now that the long-raging and ill-advisedly-ignited Vivian Maier debate has finally died down, Jeff wouldn’t throw gasoline on those embers by expressing a Strong Opinion about some recent Viv-related news, would he? Well, you’ll just have to tune in to find out. Also discussed: the boys swap cities, Gabe in New York and Jeff in Los Angeles; recent shooting adventures with a slew of cameras both old and new; and the proper way to express your love of our smash hit podcast: through lavish gifts!
* we had a tremendous response to the last episode — clearly 69 is something people really enjoy
* heh heh heh, the folks at Camerosity took the bait — haven’t y’all read The Mouse That Roared?
* Gabe’s adventures in New York shooting his Rolleiflex and Leica M10 with Sissi Lu (shoutout: Katz’s Deli) and Chris Chu (shoutout: Salt’s Cure), plus drive-bys at B&H and picturehouse + the small darkroom
* Jeff sold his Robot Royal 24, but shipping to South Korea was twice as much as what the UPS website originally quoted, so he realized a net profit of $3.32
* however, he still wanted a square-format 35mm, so bring on the Mamiya Sketch… which is delightful and quirky!
* shooting the Canonflex R2000
* shooting the Pentax MF with FPP Color 125 (see Jeff’s article in Casual Photophile)
* a hearty thanks to super-listener Jeffry Pittman, who sent us a Baby Rollei, a Hermes 3000 typewriter, and lots of film
* iPhone iOS 17.4 now includes podcast transcripts so you may enjoy our soaring rhetorical flourishes
* Jeff mildly reacts to some recent Vivian Maier news
* Gabe’s planning an all-medium-format film shoot with the Pentax 6x7, the Mamiya RZ67, and the Hasselblad 501CM
* a passing mention of new friend Peter Kagan, about whom you will hear more
* a bold voyage into our Prodigious Mailbag™
* and finally, a fond farewell to the great Joe Flaherty
