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!

A long-awaited catch-up in which Gabe reviews the events of the past month. The biggest news: he bought a half-frame camera! WHAT IS UP WITH THIS DUDE? Tune in for the rollicking debrief!
* how’s Gabe doing? well, he:
* took some trips to the Palisades house with Brandon
* found the remains of many cameras, including Rolleiflexes
* was interviewed by National Geographic reporter Gideon Mendel, who documents such things
* and has returned to shooting! with the Rolleiflex 3.5E, Nikon FE, Leica M6…
* ...but not the cameras in the bag he grabbed on the day of the fire
* Trev Lee thoughtfully returned the Rolleiflex Gabe had traded him for his Leica M5
* Gabe went to the LA Camera Expo, which is shaping up great
* while in LA, Jeff shot with:
* Rolleiflex SL350 — sublime!
* Canon F-1 Lake Placid Olympics edition — underrated!
* Rollei C35 — ridiculous!
* FujiFilm GA645 — confounding!
* upon departure, he removed all batteries from idle cameras ‘cause he’s compulsive
* and he swapped Alpas! the 11si and 50mm Kern-Macro-Switar came east, while the 10s and 24mm Angenieux stayed west!
* shocking half-a-cookie news! Gabe bought an Olympus Pen FT!
* while Jeff failed to snag a Zeiss Tenax II, so he bought the book by Wes Loder instead
* and he received a cool Lego Retro Camera as a gift from Todd and Mistie
* may we draw your attention to Andy Gray’s amazing IDOC-inspired Pentax MF mod page
* a rare treat! Jeff dined with Sunny 16’s Clare Marie Bailey and her brilliant musician friend Gwenno at the storied Chelsea Hotel
* we take an emotional dip into our Prodigious Mailbag™
* and finally, we urge you to see Bob Trevino Likes It, starring our friends Barbie Ferreira and French Stewart
