the original Kodak Instamatic

A golden Minolta P’s

Gabe’s been trawling eBay for early LIFE magazines

Please tell Jeff he doesn’t need a Nicca IIIL

He’s also fascinated by the ridiculous Contax Preview

Gabe’s got some shoots coming up, and plans to use:

Contax 645

Minolta P’s

and the super-cheap Canon Rebel 2000 with the 40mm pancake

Jeff’s quasi-repaired Pentax ES II is cursed… never again!

…but he’s loving his rare and delightful Mamiya/Sekor 2000 DTL

…and will soon be shooting on set with his beloved Olympus Pen EE-3

A deep dive into our Prodigious Mailbag™

and finally: Gabe throws out the Under $95 Camera Challenge!
