What this episode covers

The big news is, Jeff is now able to pull blurry, postage-stamp-sized images off his 2001 Casio WQV-10 watch camera, but there’s so much more! Gabe has a slew of new camera gear; there’s a raft of queries in the Prodigious Mailbag™; and we even throw a few compliments at our most hated rivals. Join us for the tick-tock! Gabe has a few new acquisitions, far more than the “thirtyish” to which he swore he’d limit his collection: a sweet little Ricoh 500 with trigger-wind on the bottom a Kiev 60 with monster 180mm lens and a dud Contax 167MT with a killer Zeiss 35-70 zoom our Trusty Dusty Camera Repair Guy™ tuned up Gabe’s Rolleiflex 2.8F white face and he can’t wait to shoot with it discussed: finding the right resources on the internet for your camera needs - which are your favorites? Gabe went to the LA Camera Expo again - hey, why not set up your own camera fair? has the XPan spoiled Jeff for all other cameras? he brought no backup on his recent European trip! but what if it dies? Jeff says he’d buy a cheapie in Paris at Aux Vieux Format! please convince Jeff he doesn’t need a Leicaflex SL2 50 Jahre, even though our T.D.C.R.G. says it’s more refined there’s a Petri Color 35 Custom on eBay - go get it! Jeff’s ultimate Casio WQV-10 triumph came courtesy of American hero Roger Braunstein - will WQV prices spike on eBay? watch the IDOC Effect in action! is the “I’m Back” digital sensor for 35mm cameras absurd? they had a $44,000 goal on Kickstarter and raised a million! all I want is the image, Shrevie, do you agree? Gabe implores you to print your stuff and share your work and finally, we empty our Prodigious Mailbag™
