Tune in & check out the near miracle of this astonishing hidden gem, the mind-blowing sharpness & character that is the 50mm Hexanon AR 1.8 lens. And why your host is now absolutely ready to explore the seriously neglected but brilliant AR system. Mentioned: Konica Hexanon AR 50mm 1.7, Konica FS-1, Classic Lenses Podcast.

In this the 50th episode of the Camerosity Podcast, the gang and I look back at the past two years of open source film photography nonsense.  A podcast created late one night on a whim has turned into one of the most popular of its kind. This is a screenshot from the recording of the very first Cocaine and Waffles Podcast recorded on May 12, 2021. Coming out of podcast retirement (somewhat) is original host, and former creator of the Classic Lenses Podcast, Johnny Sisson.  Dusting off his headset and microphone, Johnny updates us on what happened to his former co-hosts and reflects on what his favorite episodes were.  One of which involves Mr. Bob Rotoloni who conveniently joins us on this episode along with returning guests Rob Jamieson and podcast host himself, Andre Domingues. On a show featuring both Bob and Johnny, we are treated to a great deal more stories about Nikon and Polaroid, along with discussion about a strange product that brought both brands together.  It wouldn't be a Camerosity Podcast episode without the discussion foraying into other topics such as the Bronica S2 and adapting Bronica lenses, Hasselblads, Diptychs, and Andre's very favorable review of the half frame Kodak H35 which we touched upon in the last episode. In the spirit of an anniversary episode that reflects back on our origins, be sure to stay through the closing music for a look back into the very first moments of this show...Episode 0! As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  We would love to hear from more listeners, especially those who are new to shooting film or collecting cameras.  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are new to shooting and are interested in having an episode dedicated to people new to the hobby, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, and right here on mikeeckman.com.  We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. For our next episode, we are inviting back Todd Gustavson from the George Eastman House in Rochester, New York to share with us stories about Eastman Kodak, the company's history, some of the best Kodak models to look out for, more about the museum, and lots more.  If you've only ever thought of Kodak as a film company who also made cameras...well, you'd be right...but they're so much more than that.  Be sure to look out for our next show announcement.  Episode 51 will be recorded on Monday, June 12th.  We hope to see you there!

After a recommendation by Bob Matter and many months of being “on our list”, it was with great pleasure that we finally got to talk with Travis Linville about his love for wet plate portraits and analogue photography. Travis lives near Chicago so of course listeners to the Classic Lenses Podcast will know that we had to start the conversation by asking him what the weather was like.   http://www.travisbrianlinville.com/   Things we chatted about on the show:   Why not come and join us the “LFPP 2020 Gathering in the Forest” over the weekend of 29th and 30th May. Bracelands Camp Site, Forest of Dean (that’s in the UK for those in the colonies) –  www.campingintheforest.co.uk/england/forest-of-dean/bracelands-campsite   Andrew will be arriving on the Friday and Simon on the Saturday. The main “gathering” will be Saturday evening when we hope to share witty tales of large format japes, drink adult beverages and eat burnt food…..what’s not to love.   In preparation for our Gathering in the Forest, Andrew bought new ground glass for his wooden Bomm L45 camera and to say he’s pleased with it is an understatement. Check out virgisst on ebay, he’s in Lithuania and super low prices and high quality, Thoroughly recommended.   Travis hasn’t been making wet plate images for all that long, one of his inspirations for portraits was Giles Clement and you can see his work here. www.gilesclement.com   Thanks to all those who donated using the Ko-Fi site and to our email contributors, we finally managed to answer some (well two) before running out of time.    And……   If you live anywhere near Stoke On Trent then why not get in touch with Simon and coma along to the 6 Towns Darkroom on a Tuesday evening You know how to find him   LFPP links -   https://largeformatphotographypodcast.podbean.com/   ko-fi.com/largeformatphotographypodcast   You can join in the fun at our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/2296599290564807/   Get Twitter updates for the show from Andrew – https://twitter.com/warboyssnapper   Or from Simon – https://twitter.com/simonfor   Email feedback, ideas and questions for the podcast largeformatphotographypodcast@gmail.com   Podcast Hosts Social Media presence   Simon Forster www.classiclensespodcast.com   www.simonforsterphotographic.co.uk   https://stores.ebay.co.uk/itsfozzyphotography   https://www.flickr.com/photos/125323761@N07/   https://www.facebook.com/SimonForsterPhotographic/   https://www.instagram.com/simonforsterphotographic/   https://twitter.com/SimonFor   Andrew Bartram https://anchor.fm/thelenslesspodcast   https://andrewbartram.wordpress.com   https://www.instagram.com/warboyssnapper   https://www.imstagram.com/warboyssnapper_pinholes   https://www.flickr.com/photos/warboyssnapper/   https://twitter.com/warboyssnapper

We start our discussion with potential destinations for a dream photographic trip anywhere in the world. Dave and Simon, the DangerBoyz, made a documentary film about shooting a photograph in a huge disused World War II oil storage tank in Scotland. Not only did they shoot the image in the tank, but they also set up a darkroom and developed the film and made a large format print of the tank. They talk about the film, how they met, and why they wanted to tackle this improbable task.  The discussion ranges from rock climbing to trash bag cameras, paper negatives in the dark and bickering with the world’s longest echo. No interview with Si and Dave would be complete without a discussion about their documentary film, One Shot: Inchindown (https://inchindown.com/) and what it took to make a very large print from a negative they exposed in the super huge oil storage tanks in Scotland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inchindown_oil_tanks).  Dave and Simon talk about what project they are currently working on (is Simon a bat?). Could lava tubes be in the future? Glass plates in a fjord? We talk about what we've all been doing lately: Graham has been printing copies of his 6X12 camera that has now been renamed the Kraken and has an official release date (April 16, 2020). Ethan calls dibs on the use of the name Chupacabra (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chupacabra), Graham challenges Ethan for reserving the name, loses the argument but wins in the end.  Nick’s been in Tuscon this week, away from the dark skies of the Northwestern winter. He arrived with a broken medium format camera so he stopped at Monument Photo (https://www.google.com/maps/place/15+E+Fort+Lowell+Rd,+Tucson,+AZ+85705/@32.2650815,-110.9734827,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x86d67161ca413fd7:0x533e55b0f04641b0!8m2!3d32.2650815!4d-110.971294) and bought a 90-year-old Zeiss Ikonta that works wonderfully.  Ethan made a 3D-printed toilet tank flap holder. He loves to flush now. Dave has been doing some photo mash-ups with swirl-spirals, triptychs and wax paper.  Simon Hanging off ropes upside down in the tanks. There’s a lot going on down there. We move on to shoutouts.  Graham points out the Instagram feed of Thomas Berg (@ThomasBergPhoto). Earlier in the episode, Ethan mentions Nikki Glaser (https://nikkiglaser.com/). He also gives shouts to Simon, Perry, Johnny from the Classic Lenses Podcast (https://www.classiclensespodcast.com/) Nick mentions Werner Herzog’s Cave of Forgotten Dreams (https://www.ifcfilms.com/films/cave-of-forgotten-dreams) Dave mentions Mikey Sturgess and his Holga posts.  (https://michaelsturgess.com/) and Valde-North (https://twitter.com/jeremynorth?lang=en). You can get in touch with us thusly: Ethan (Ethan@cameradactyl.com) Nick (Nick@homemadecamera.com) Graham (Graham@homemadecamera.com) Dave (DavidSAllen.com) Simon (You'll know it if you run into him) The show's not over once the music ends.

Apologies to anyone who expected this show to be released on the 21st of October, our usual release date (not that any of you actually notice we release on the 7th and 21st of each month); it was delayed due to Graham updating his computer to MacOS 10.15 and Audacity (audio editing) not updating their software to work with MacOS 10.15. He had to scramble a bit to find a computer with the old operating system but find one he did and here's the result.  Ethan has gone off for a European Vacation so Nick and Graham, left to their own devices come up with a show about... 90 minutes in length. They open the show with a discussion of modified Holgas and how to determine the frame sizes on slit masks and then move on to a chat about the interaction between elements in a photograph is the foundation of an interesting image. Then, to completely annoy Simon, Perry and Johnny of the Classic Lenses Podcast (https://www.classiclensespodcast.com/), they talk about using modern cheap manual focus lenses that have been designed to go on modern digital autofocus cameras for homemade film cameras. These lenses are excellent and cheap (did we mention cheap?) and, once a shutter system is devised, can create a competent camera build.  Nick bought a 100 year-old Kodak Panoram camera from an antique store and the design of its swing-lens opens up possibilities. If you don't know about the Panoram, here's Mike Ekman's page on it: (https://www.mikeeckman.com/2016/10/kodak-no-1-panoram-kodak-1900-1926/). The Nodal Point issue is also discussed and here's a reference on that: (http://www.hugha.co.uk/NodalPoint/Index.htm) Graham thanks Neil Piper of the Soot and Whitewash podcast (https://anchor.fm/neil-piper) for reviewing the 24Squared which could be back on the market in a few weeks.

A round-up on some the things that we've been up to lately. Simon had a table at the UK's largest camera fair, Photographica 2019 in London, and went mad for Tessars. Johnny traded his Nikon S2 for some magic blue beans in the shape of a Bessa R. Lots of lens talk as usual, listener questions, and we don't manage to answer why Johnny prefers a Kiev to a Nikon S2 and Simon prefers a FED S to a Leica II.

Host of the Classic Lenses Podcast, Creator of the Photography With Classic Lenses Facebook group, Professor and Program Director at the University of Florida, husband to Pam and father to Andy, has died. Karl had suffered from a heart condition for which he took medication and unfortunately for us all, his heart gave up suddenly on Friday. It saddens us greatly to share this news here. Karl was a guest recently on the Sunny 16 Podcast, and our friends Ade, Rachel, and Graeme have graciously allowed us to share that episode here with you in tribute to our friend Karl. Beneath Karl's relaxed manner was a man of passion; a passion for his abstract art, a passion for ecology a passion for photography, a passion for his friends and a passion for his family.

Nick and Graham talk about what they’ve learned in the year since they started the podcast. Nick talks about cameras that get out of your way but also cameras that do get in your way. Graham talks a bit about shooting on a vacation with a Minox 35 GL zone focusing aperture priority camera. Graham talks about the approach to building cameras that includes more parts (36:35) for better functionality and not trying to put as much functionality as possible into each part. He also rambles on about how the most important thing we do is take images and the image is way more important than the camera, lens or the film.  (47:00). Nick counters that while it is true, he would rather have access to that information on others’ photos. The issue of the differences between cameras, lenses and film is much less apparent than the differences between different photographers’ abilities with post-processing tools. The hosts lament the lack of a reliable shutter for homemade cameras are not readily available (55:00) and that lack of access is a major factor in keeping us from producing reliable cameras that use existing lens systems. Graham stumbles around, trying to figure out what Raffaello Palandri’s name is, even calling him Franco Zeffirelli (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001874/) at one point. What can we say, Graham is an idiot, first class. They even talk about not editing Graham’s idiocy out of the episode. Instead, of sending the hosts hate mail, go to Raffaello’s PONF Camera website (https://ponfcamera.com/) which is way more effective and edifying. On an entirely more fun note (1:05:45), the Homemade Camera Fun(d)raiser Zine is open for submissions! Go to http://homemadecamera.com/homemade-camera-zine-submission-form/ and click on the link for the Zine Submission Form. All of the information is there for you to see! Finally, Graham announces a new podcast he’s doing (1:12:35), Get Started With Film Photography Podcast (http://getstartedwithfilm.com/), a podcast that is focused on beginning photographers and people who are just getting back into film photography. Nick was on the Classic Lenses Podcast Episode 61 (1:19:10) (https://www.classiclensespodcast.com/e/61-tbd-1552847955/) where he baffled Simon and Johnny for a large portion of the show. We also mention the Large Format Photography Podcast (https://largeformatphotographypodcast.podbean.com/) that Simon Forster of the Classic Lenses Podcast and Andrew Bartram of the Lensless Podcast do on a semi-monthly basis (or so). No book this time. Nick wants to announce something but he forgets what it is (1:23:25). And that’s pretty much it for our first anniversary show. We’re one year-old!

 Pobean | iTunes | Stitcher | Google ________ MANIFESTOThe Classic Film Negatives Sunny Lensless Studio PodcastDear listeners, Film photography podcasts have exploded in number and we, the undisputed, established names in this niche have decided it is time to take action. The collective burden of generating fresh, creative content week-on-week in order to satiate the community lust for "all things analog" is not sustainable. We are putting our hands up to say yes, we have occasionally scraped the bottom of the barrel for content and should, no, must be better (getting EM and Hamish on should be red flags to you all by now). In March 2019 we our leadership came together to debate how we could collaborate in the interests of our listenership and the wider film and analog photography community. After heated deliberation, we settled on a single and universally effective solution: We should create a monopoly. Starting April 2019, our individual podcasts will be merging into a single community mammoth: The Classic Film Negatives Sunny Lensless Studio Podcast (CFNSLSP). A single podcast with over a dozen hosts and a new episode nearly every single day of the week will be providing you with: Camera reviews, classic lens reviews, industry insight, chatter, interviews and competitions ...to name a few. Understanding that photography is not everything, we will also have special focus events covering adult beverages, classic timepieces and lifestyle tips. No longer will you need to create playlists for your analogue photography podcast needs. A single voice will be able to provide you with all you need to, or in fact, should know. In the words of Russell Nash, "there can be only one". We would like to take this opportunity to thank our loyal listeners for their patronage and hope to see you join the CFNSLSP family.

We are back with episode #2 so clearly we mean business!   Today we are joined by our good friend Graham Vasey, bearded Gentleman of the North, angler extraordinaire and who also knows a thing or two about using large format cameras.   Graham crafts wonderfully evocative images made largely within 20 miles of his home in the Durham area using a variety of older uncoated lenses mounted on a 5x4 and sometimes 10x8 camera.  His final images are made using liquid emulsion, salt prints (hey did you know Andrew did those), wet plate collodion and lith prints – you’ll be pleased to hear or not we didn’t get to talk about ANY of those things so that will have to wait till Darth Vasey returns.   Simon started off by asking Graham what a fine art photograph was cos that’s what it says on his website – come on Simon, don’t ask our guests such challenging questions without any advance warning!   The discussion for the next 90 mins or so covers the use of roll film backs on LF cameras, we touch briefly on Graham’s use of liquid emulsions, emails from Cass Fitzgerald who asks us about paper negatives and speed rating in particular and haze on lenses where Simon gets a shameless plug for the Classic Lenses Podcast.   We also dive into an email from Ben Reynolds who puts Simon straight on the difference between Micro-Press and Micro-Technical cameras. The use of Aero Ektar lenses, older uncoated lenses, advice on buying on line – be careful – maybe go to a good retailer and discuss (see links) – Ben asks us a question about bellows extension so that takes up a bit of time. We all thoroughly enjoyed our time chatting with Graham and hope you enjoy listening.   We realise there is just so very much to cover and much more to discuss with Graham at a later date.   You can find Graham’s work in the following places;   https://grahamvasey.wordpress.com   www.grahamvasey.com   https://twitter.com/Gvaseyphoto   https://www.instagram.com/grayheadv   Graham has some of his prints on show and for sale at his local contemporary art gallery in Darlington called The Gallerina   https://www.gallerina.co.uk/graham-vasey#!     Links and references arising from the discussions;   West Yorkshire Cameras - https://wycameras.com/   Mr Cad - https://www.mrcad.co.uk   MIFSUDS - www.mifsuds.com   Ffordes Photographic - https://www.ffordes.com   Simon Chesterman - www.collectablecameras.com   Latent Image - www.tli-processing.com/store   Second Hand Darkroom - https://www.secondhanddarkroom.co.uk   Simon and Graham mentioned Camera Fairs as another good place to go:   Tadcaster Camera Fair, Wolverhampton Camera Fair were two but a Google Search will reveal more we are sure.   Graham gave a couple of shout outs:   Tony Richards, Wet Plate Photographer - www.fourtoes.co.uk   Christopher Pederson – sorry about the links but they do work   https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fpeople%2F86466065%40N08%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0lMGdKyQwg7IJR4c1AdpCDnx2A5nDEZDLjQ9bwfHGDQVzdUnylwdGEW_A&h=AT20F-9DDq2tp6j33vTZU5mIlON5T95g7FoJbfJ2_J7_XOA23NmThobVMn-v1-JLUHNAF_HdN_8h5NIpvOgX-kz_EYon-o5Damr28glI09yxTm0uXIY2EtGkTi52dWPIVt_4tSyvgJas14Ro840K1A     https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fpolaboyd.wordpress.com%2F2016%2F09%2F09%2Fpoetry-in-l-minor%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0vaD3z-Jh1zZAQVhHQktpaAJR0pvpJSTRtLr2939PlQ7VRy6sKV7QF8gM&h=AT1gExFkySwuxDjMqlUoCX7vGXDsTPKH0s-7jlEPO6Bkl56esWYzlFcnd52AIxNU71l4g6LlgYggikeR24iIm4v-47THmQSO6KvftYzf-9ulrOnZ3FnTFZYJaWw8JeAEncuFq5kKrihCKQH8Fiy1tw       LFPP links -   https://largeformatphotographypodcast.podbean.com/   ko-fi.com/largeformatphotographypodcast   You can join in the fun at our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/2296599290564807/   Get Twitter updates for the show from Andrew – https://twitter.com/warboyssnapper   Or from Simon – https://twitter.com/simonfor   Email feedback, ideas and questions for the podcast largeformatphotographypodcast@gmail.com   Podcast Hosts Social Media presence   Simon Forster www.classiclensespodcast.com www.simonforsterphotographic.co.uk https://stores.ebay.co.uk/itsfozzyphotography https://www.flickr.com/photos/125323761@N07/ https://www.facebook.com/SimonForsterPhotographic/ https://www.instagram.com/simonforsterphotographic/ https://twitter.com/SimonFor   Andrew Bartram https://anchor.fm/thelenslesspodcast https://andrewbartram.wordpress.com https://www.instagram.com/warboyssnapper https://www.imstagram.com/warboyssnapper_pinholes https://www.flickr.com/photos/warboyssnapper/ https://twitter.com/warboyssnapper   Title artwork by Graham Vasey http://www.grahamvasey.com/albums/silver-emulsion/content/marsco-isle-of-skye/

Graham has a hammer and everything is looking like a nail and he tells us why (14:00). Nick tries to talk him down from his issue with materials by suggesting a variety of solutions for different usages. Sometimes it’s better to think of a design as a series of elements that gets built up into a whole instead of a single element that is constructed for the single purpose (25:45). Ethan Moses has come out with a new 4X5 hand camera, the Cameradactyl OG (cameradactyl.com) and Graham and Nick each have one from the first batch and they talk about its structure and materials (28:15) as well as how to extend its usefulness and functionality. Graham comes up with the absolute worst idea for making an optical lens (31:15) while Nick talks about more difficult methods that might actually work.  One of the battles we have to fight as designers of cameras is keeping the film flat against the film gate. To help with that, Graham proposes reducing the area of the image size (49:00). Nick brings up the concept of making mini bellows focusing mechanisms (58:00) as a method of saving weight through the elimination of the helical. The Cameradactyl OG is discussed in length again (1:00:00). Please excuse the rustling in the background as both of the hosts have their cameras in-hand during this time. Graham harkens back to the Starship Enterprise for inspiration for a light-shading device for viewing the ground glass even though Nick doesn’t want to think about it. Just like a cuckoo bird laying an egg in another bird’s nest, Nick and Graham discuss an interview conducted on the Classic Lenses Podcast (https://classiclensespodcast.podbean.com/) with Raffaello Pondri of the PONF camera (ponfcamera.com) project (1:24:30). The PONF camera is a design that features swappable film and digital backs on a 35mm camera. It is well worth a direct listen instead of relying on the shaky memories of Nick and Graham. The manufacturing process would use a metal 3D printing system like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Igq8gQuXfR4. One of the most interesting of the concepts that came up in the discussion of the PONF camera is the use of an LCD shutter (1:42:15). They are plentiful and cheap but that doesn’t mean they are right for film photography. They move on to what they’ve been working on lately (1:51:00), including the adapting of lenses, more about lumen boxes and issues with Graham’s 3D printer. Graham incorrectly identifies the supplier of lenses as Surplus Shack while it is Surplus Shed (surplussed.com). Shout out to Matt Melcher of the Box of Cameras podcast and poster on Flickr (mattmelcher) and Instagram (@mattmelcher and @box_of_cameras). Graham has some cameras for sale on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/shop/FrozenPhotonCameraCo) and thinks everyone should own one of them.
