“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!
