Episode 5 • Fight Us

Written By Gabe Sachs
 

  • it’s a new year, check your batteries! How to replace the obsolete PX625: the MR-9 adapter, the Weincell, the 675 + paulbg ring, etc.

  • wrongly valued cameras (Minoltas, Konicas and Mirandas are treated like trash; Mamiya/Sekor is garbage while Mamiya is a treasure; Pentax K1000 overvalued while ME Super is undervalued; Canon AE-1 over, EF and A-1 under; Olympus OM-1 way under, etc.)

  • autofocus / point and shoot - is it real photography?

  • does handheld metering make you more of a photographer?

  • plastic / toy / Lomo cameras

  • Polaroid, Instax, One Instant (a disaster), Polaroid Chocolate

  • expired film - what’s so great?

  • bulk loading

  • Spotlight: the cameras we each irrationally and indefensibly love (Hasselblad 553ELX, Canon EF)
