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!

Jeff’s been engaged for over a month, and is suffused with bonhomie and goodwill, while the normally sanguine Gabe is ENRAGED! At eBay sellers who say “make an offer,” but don’t actually want one; at overpriced camera straps and thumb drives — he’s seething! Next, the boys note some stereotypically male behavior from “Chad” GPT, discuss the financial state of our beloved Kodak, examine the controversy over Nick Ut’s “Terror of War” photo, and take a swan dive into an exceptionally Prodigious Mailbag. Finally: will Debbie Gibson record a vocal version of our theme song for the upcoming (and final?) 100th episode, or is that Only In My Dreams? Shake Your Love and find out!
* Gabe traveled to Lake Muskoka north of Toronto and shot no film
* Jeff asked ChatGPT to compare the Closter Princess Junior with the Galileo Condor II, and it claimed they were bikes! We now dub the app “Chad GPT,” because he’s a man who'll never say “I Don't Know”!
* is Kodak in trouble? Calm down!
* we discuss the emergent controversy over the authorship of Nick Ut’s “Terror of War” photo, as recounted in the new documentary The Stringer - for example, even AP admits the negative was not shot with Ut's preferred Leica M2, but a cheap Pentax, and our trusty dusty camera repair guy confirms this
* Gabe rails at eBay sellers who say “make offer” but don't want an offer
* also, when is the asking price too high? for straps, thumb drives, Alpa strap lugs...?
* Jeff openly derides absurd packfilm prices
* Gabe rhapsodizes about OC Camera in Laguna Hills
* we both love Sissi Lu's recent photo shoot with her mom
* our trusty dusty camera repair guy replaced the focusing screen in Gabe’s Rolleiflex 2.8E, and the results are glorious
* the Prodigious Mailbag™ includes an unexpected eyewitness update on Jeff's Alpa 10s half-cookie
* Gabe will be at the LA Camera Expo this Sunday, August 17th
* our designer (and award-winning photographer) Keith Greenstein is back on Instagram
* check out The Darkroom Rumour, The Darkroom’s amazing new streaming site for photo documentaries
* and let's get Debbie Gibson to record a vocal version of our theme song with composer Fred Coury for the 100th episode!
