This week on episode 24 of the Camerosity Podcast, we hit the holiday road and travel to a more European friendly time zone to allow more of our British, German, and Belgium listeners to join us!
Along with Anthony, Theo, Paul, and I, first time callers Calum Tilson, John-Michael Mendizza, and Wayne Scheipers joined returning callers Alan Duncan, Nick Lyle, Mark Faulkner, Bill Smith, Larry Effler, and James Allen to discuss a wide variety of topics from Instax to LOMO to Minolta SRTs. Camerosity GAS struck John-Michael and he bought a Rollei 35, and Calum gets a ton of great tips on camera repair.
Amazingly, we go this entire episode without once mentioning Nikon, Zeiss, Leica, King Regulas, or panoramic cameras (no wait a minute, we did).
Every episode, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are decided entirely upon you, so if you’d like to join us, be sure to look out for our next show announcement for Episode 25, which will be recorded on Monday, May 2nd!

Not to be outdone, Anthony, Paul, Theo, and Mike, along with returning guests Mark Faulkner, Howard Sandler, Jess Ibarra, James Allen, and Dan Tree talk about everyone's favorite Voigtländers, the strangest looking TLRs, and why Soviet cameras often need service, even when new.

This week on episode 22 of the Camerosity Podcast, we welcome special guest Dan Tamarkin of Tamatkin Camera in Chicago, Illinois to regale us with many tales of his life selling Leicas. Originally started in 1971 by his father Stan, Tamarkin Camera has been one of the most trusted Leica dealers in the country over the past 51 years, so there is little that Dan doesn't know or hasn't seen.
Listen in as Anthony, Paul, Theo and Mike, along with regular guests, Jon Gilchrist, Robert Rotoloni, Mark Faulkner, Nafis Azad, and Mark Peterson join first time callers Andre Domingues and Dan Tree who ask questions and chat about Leica cameras, the company's rich history and much more. You may have never thought you needed a hot pink Hello Kitty Leica M3 before, but you will after hearing this episode! Listen in to hear all the other nonsense we discuss!
Every episode, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are decided entirely upon you, so if you’d like to join us, be sure to look out for our next show announcement for Episode 23, which we will record on a special night, Sunday, April 3rd at 8pm CDT (UTC -5), 9pm EDT (UTC -4).
Audio Warning: Once again, I had problems with my own audio this episode. All of the other guests are fine, but there was an issue with my levels that I did the best I could to correct. The good news is, I figured out why this keeps happening so I should be able to prevent it for future episodes.
This Week's Episode

Why Do Leicas Sometimes Expose Images Through the Sprockets on One Side? / Metal Cassettes vs Modern Cassettes

This week on episode 21 of the Camerosity Podcast you better hide your credit cards and deactivate your eBay accounts as there is a whole lot of GAS coming your way! Without a special guest, Mike, Theo, Paul, and Anthony were free to discuss all their recent pickups, with everything from Niccas to Noblexes.
Joining us were returning callers Mark Faulkner, Jon Gilchrist, Miles Libak, and first time callers Nafis Azad, James Allen, and David Ortega who share with us their Wideluxes, Gallus Derluxes, Miranda Sensorexes, and Kiev rangefinders.
In addition to GAS, we cover controversial topics such as whether it's better to advance your film immediately after each shot or before the next one, what the best flatbed scanning software is, and whether or not Paterson or Stainless reels are everyone's favorite. Of course there's a lot more, including one of the rarest cameras ever talked about on a Camerosity episode, so be sure to listen through to the end to find out what that is!
In two weeks, we will record episode 22 and will welcome special guest, "America's Premier Leica Specialist", Dan Tamarkin from Tamarkin Camera in Chicago, Illinois. Dan is a huge fan of the show and will be bringing with him a wealth of knowledge about Leica rangefinders and SLRs, so if that's something that you'd be interested in, be sure to join us at 7pm CDT (UTC -5), 8pm EDT (UTC -4) on Monday, March 21st.
(Note that Daylight Savings Time will start on March 13 in the United States, so the time may be different for you in other parts of the world.)

This week, we have a very special episode of the Camerosity Podcast. Anthony, Paul, Theo, and myself sit down with director Dean Ginsburg and producer James Carr of the documentary film, REVIVAL: The Film to Bring Back Film.
Dean and James are both passionate about all things film, the history, shooting, developing, printing, the gear, and after witnessing a similar level of enthusiasm from many others, young and old, all over the world, they started out on a quest to make a documentary film that explores what exactly it is about film photography that has captivated so many people.
Listen in as the filmmakers share their motivation and rationale behind why making this documentary is important to them, and also soliciting stories and motivations from us the Camerosity crew. Also joining the discussion were Hong Lee and Matt Jones who got to share their personal stories and ask the filmmakers their questions.
This special 1 hour chat is a fascinating glimpse into the behind the scenes of a crowdfunded film project. Also, check out their Kickstarter page where depending on how much you're willing to back, you might be able to earn an appearance in the film!
Every week, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are decided entirely upon you, so if you'd like to join us, be sure to look out for our next show announcement for Episode 20, which we will record at our normal time of 7pm CST (UTC -6), 8pm EST (UTC -5) on Monday, February 21st.

Jess is joined by your regular hosts, Anthony, Theo, Paul, and I, along with returning callers Mario Piper, Howard Sandler, Vladislav Kern, Mark Faulkner, and first time callers Adam Paul, and Jon Gilchrist.

He is joined by your regular hosts, Anthony, Theo, Paul, and I, along with returning callers Robert Rotoloni, Michael Westcott Loder, Mark Faulkner, Mark Peterson, and first time callers Jess Lantz, Dwight Anderson, and David Ortega.

It's an all new year and an all new episode of the Camerosity Podcast! We're back at our regular time for some call in camera discussion!
For episode 17, Theo, Paul, Anthony, and I were joined by returning callers Dan Hausman, Hong Lee, Mark Faulkner, Mark Peterson, and Miles Libak where we posed the question, "What are the worst cameras you've ever used that have the best lenses?" It proved to be a worthwhile discussion as it spawned a lot of strong opinions, and some controversy! Definitely check it out and maybe next time, you can tell us which cameras you don't like...or something completely different!
