About this episode
In Episode № 57 of I Dream of Cameras, we mind our P’s — Minolta’s little-known pocket XPan killer — and Q’s — diving into a particularly prodigious mailbag. Also, Gabe’s gone digicam kray-zee, and Jeff’s still obsessed with that Nikon Year of the Dog camera. Tune in for all the chitter-chatter! Cameras of 1966: The troublesome but alluring Rolleiflex SL66 The unreleased yet tantalizing Pentax 220 The well-named Petri Racer Gabe’s recent acquisitions — he’s a digicam hipster! Nikon Coolpix S1000pj with built-in projector Nikon D700 Nikon Coolpix P7000 Jeff’s thoroughly besotted with the delightful panoramic point-and-shoot Minolta P's — it leaves the tab out when rewinding! And it comes in four other colors, red, blue, green and black — does he need 'em? Olympus Stylus, mirrored chrome edition — are these special finishes worth the premium? Revisiting the Nikon FM2/T Year of the Dog camera — the price continues to plummet, but the dog looks like the dogecoin Shiba Inu , so does that ruin it? Gabe’s recent use of the Leica M6 on the WGA picket line reminded him how nice it is to use a lighter, less bulky camera eBay annoyances, suspicious sellers… and our super-prodigious mailbag!
