How did these two mumbling malcontents pump out pods for five years and ninety-eight nattering episodes? In this one, the boys barely discuss that at all! Instead Jeff recaps his trip to London, to the shop where he bought both his Alpa and XPan, and Gabe recounts his acquisition of a legendary lens owned by an even-more-legendary photographer. A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest — tune in!
November 20 marks IDOC’s fifth anniversary, and the 21st marks Jeff’s birthday!
Jeff briefly recounts his trip to London, including a stop at Camera City, the shop where he got both his first Alpa and his first XPan
Gabe’s birthday bonanza included a Lab-Box and a Negative Supply scanning rig…
…he found a Beseler 67SC enlarger on FB Marketplace…
…and went to (basically) Spahn Ranch in the Hollywood Hills to secure a 80mm f4 Rodenstock Rodagon enlarger lens… which, it turns out, used to belong to Herb Ritts!
our continuing adventures with the maddeningly inconsistent Chad GPT: it misled Jeff about the fate of the final penny, and lied to Gabe about a mysterious TLR which turned out to be a rare Rolleiflex 2.8F white face
what do the boys think of the soon-come Widelux XX?
sad news: Freestyle Photo is closing their brick-and-mortar location
should Jeff buy an O.G. Alpa-Reflex on the ‘bay to complete his collection?
once again, we improbably empty the Prodigious Mailbag™
and now you must run to the L.A. Camera Expo in Burbank ‘cause it’s happening at this very moment!

I Dream of Cameras storms into the fifth year of its five-year mission with new life and new civilization! Gabe went on a photo tear through New York City. Jeff cut an astounding deal on new gear at the Chelsea flea market. And there are imminent trips to Jamaica, Iceland and downtown LA. Will your enterprising interlocutors boldly go where no XPan has gone before? Pluck our latest pod and find out!
* welcome to IDOC Year Five!
* Gabe recounts his visit to B&H Photo in New York with rockstar street-shooter Sissi Lu and repair guru Shlomo
* who killed Fotografiska NYC? could it be… Satan?
* to find out, Jeff and P watched Finding Vivian Maier
* at Sissi’s behest, Gabe will be giving the controversial Pentax 17 another half-a-shot
* Jeff’s coveted 24mm Angenieux for the Alpa arrived, and it's gorgeous
* he also made an impulse buy at the 25th St. flea market in Chelsea…
* a Fujifilm GA645 Professional, complete with original box, papers, case and caps!
* it’s a medium-format half-a-cookie autofocus point-and-shoot! 6x4.5 but not a big ugly box!
* negotiation strategy: Jeff and Ollie cut a package deal with the seller for the Fuji, a Contax III and a Konica Big Mini - what a bargain!
* the GA645 image size is 56×42mm = 2,352mm² (XPan is 1,560mm²), so should it replace the XPan on Jeff’s forthcoming trips to Jamaica… and Iceland?
* Gabe’s planning a night shoot with Leicas M10, Monochrom and M4.. and flash!
* and of course, we close with an exceptionally informative and Prodigious Mailbag™
* go to our merch page for all your holiday gift-giving!
