Episode 67 • Your Extra Time and Your Kiss
“Pablo Larraín, the film’s Chilean director, felt [Jackie] Kennedy’s love of beauty was so integral to her character that he requested [Natalie] Portman utter ‘I love beauty’ at some point during the shooting of every scene.” This is absurd, but not as absurd as Episode № 67 of I Dream of Cameras, “Your Extra Time and Your Kiss,” in which we discuss cameras called Beauty and Kiss and Super. Tune in for all the mayhem!

Gabe presents… Cameras in Focus, 1956:
Jeff snagged a Canon EOS New Kiss Panorama (a.k.a. Rebel G, a.k.a. Rebel 500N) for $14.50 and gave it to his brother Steven
After much equivocation, and after handling the lens at B&H, he concluded he does not need the extravagantly-priced 30mm for the Hasselblad XPan
Gabe did an all-film photo shoot with Claire Hinkley during the recent L.A. monsoon
Also shot Kylie Silkman and her sister Danica with the stunning Helios-44 lens
Jason Schneider's books on camera collecting are amazing
Perplexity.ai is a useful tool for camera comparisons
