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!

Is it enough for these two “middle-aged men” to merely share “what they’ve been up to”? One peevish iTunes reviewer doesn’t think so! But for the rest of you, tune in to this XL episode to hear the felicitous end of Jeff’s half-frame Alpa saga, news of Gabe’s bag-quisitions and camera meetups, a screed about how the new tariffs are crippling our hobby, a impassioned defense of free speech, and so much more!
rejoice, for Jeff’s half-a-cookie Alpa 10s finally arrived! not only that, after he emailed the CEO of UPS, he got a personal response and an apology!
Gabe loves his supersnazz Bleu de Chauffe camera tote, yet couldn’t resist snapping up Jeff’s cheap Strand Bookstore messenger bag as well
Gabe (along with Rafael Hernandez) went to the Susan Meiselas event at the Aero Theatre…
…and crashed the LA Camera Exchange meetup from imstilldeveloping.com and Fridge Film
the new hot camera is the Nikonos V — clearly the IDOC effect in action!
Jeff has been kitting out his new Polaroid GOOSE…
…but finds a 50mm lens a bit too tele-ish on the Alpa 10s, since a half-frame focal length × 1.44222 = full-frame, so he put in an offer on a 40mm Kilfitt Makro-Kilar
guess what? we got another bad review!
Gabe hung out with friend-of-show Chris Smirnoff and also Robert Capron, who played Rowley in Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and went to a screening of Anvil: The Story of Anvil with the mighty Fred Coury
the end of “de minimis” is a catastrophe if you buy stuff from abroad; check this eBay page for all the grim details - and thanks to tariffs, Ausgeknipst no longer ships to the US
the boys take a graceful swan dive into quite the Prodigious Mailbag™
the folks at AOK Camera Repair win the coveted IDOC endorsement
Gabe’s pictures feature in a Judd Apatow article in the latest Vanity Fair
and Camera Maintenance & Repair by Thomas Tomosy is super-expensive, so grab the PDF from the Internet Archive or from here
