This week we welcome on Ethan Moses from the Homemade Camera Podcast and Cameradactyl fame (IG cameradactyl, www.cameradactyl.com, www.homemadecamera.com, Homemade Camera Podcast Facebook Group)! Andre makes a print in his darkroom, Roxanna shares her experience with the virtual Polacon, Mike makes a trip to Cleveland and visits the Cuyahoga National Park and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, also appears on episode #133 of The Classic Lenses Podcast (IG classic.lenses.podcast, www.classiclensespodcast.com), and has his music used in a 1982 movie film titled "Revenge of Herman" by Michael Raso of the Film Photography Podcast (IG filmphotographyproject, www.filmphotographyproject.com, see the film and interview on the FPP's YouTube channel: FilmPhotographyPodcast). Ethan talks about his new Mongoose scanning solution Kickstarter project (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cameradactylmongoose/the-cameradactyl-mongoose-fast-automated-35mm-film-scanning), the difficulties in producing a scanner for the film market and why digital camera scanning is probably the future. Finally, we have a discussion on the basics of large format photography, the Cameradactyl OG, contact printing, paper negatives, and instant photography in large format via the new Lomo instant film back, and dive into why Ethan has dreams of Mike!

“My name is Erik Mathy, and I've been obsessed with photography since my Mom handed me her Pentax K1000 when I was 17. While I do own a digital camera or two, traditional methods are much more exciting to me from both an artistic and personal satisfaction standpoint. There is something about combining vision with hands on techniques and then being able to hold the end result up to the light that is incredibly satisfying”. Well here is a show that didn’t go as planned, none the worse for that but it means we have to have pt 2 to discuss Eric’s “Ride Slow, Take Photos” trip and film, his passion for making lenses and other projects. This show is a bit sweary as Simon could not find his bleeper... For this show……. Well I’ll list as many links as I can remember. Things we chatted about on the show: OK so we didn’t get on to this but here is a link to the article in AF magazine (get it if you don’t already) discussing Rides Slow and Take Photos. https://www.analogforevermagazine.com/features-interviews/film-review-ride-slow-take-pictures?fbclid=IwAR2EPCPIhFtwFzulEit7Jy-D2Qd7Ws3tnGSLIb3trteOZcprh_f1sTJqjNU Eric hinted at his passion for cycling which forms the means of transport on his “Ride Slow, Take Photos” epic journey.

Ethan Moses, esteemed podcast tart of Cameradactyl, Homemade Camera Podcast, and guest on every other podcast ever fame, joins us to talk about lenses, lots and lots of lenses. Mamiya Press lenses, his favourite Nikon and rangefinder glass, and medium format Russian lenses. For listeners of a nervous disposition, Ethan does not treat his lenses with tender loving care. Also Johnny was feeling under the weather this week, so Perry talks too much about RF lenses to Ethan instead. ________ LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Pobean | iTunes | Stitcher ________ Ethan Moses CAMERADACTYL CAMERAS | BRANCOPAN Kickstarter | Homemade Camera Podcast | Instagram________ #103 LINKS Mamiya Press System One Shot: Inchindown Nikon EM Canon Canonette 1965 TV Commercial Kiev 60 / Pentacon Six Standard Lens Test Kiev 60 Jupiter-8 50mm f2 Jupiter-3 50mm f1.5 ________ EPISODE 103 TAGS#CLP103 #CAMERADACTYL #BRANCOPAN #HomemadeCameraPodcast________ SUPPORT THE PODCAST Donate on Ko-fi ________ CONTACT Send ideas & questions for the podcast EMAIL LIST Sign-up to receive an email when each podcast goes live INSTAGRAM BestVintageLens | #classiclenses | #bestvintagelens ________ FOLLOW THE HOSTS Simon Forster Website | Ebay | Flickr | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LFPP Perry GeWebsite | Flickr | Instagram Johnny Sisson Instagram | Central Camera Company ________ BE LIKE KARL Karl Havens The Karl Havens Excellence Endowment | Flickr | Instagram ________ PODCAST THEME Octoblues Royalty Free Music by Kevin Macleod ________ Classic Lenses Podcast is (not) Sponsored by Jeppson's Malört Chicago's very own fine bitter Swedish liquor

It has been decided by the leadership group of Film Photography Podcasts that we have been spinning our wheels trying to compete against each other. As a result, we are ending The Homemade Camera Podcast and joining forces with our fellow podcasters to create the new CFNSLSP: The press release: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Announcing the formation of the Classic Film Negatives Sunny Lensless Studio Podcast Dear 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 . In March 2019 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". Further details to follow. In the interim, please remove yourself from this group and join the newly created "Classic Film Negatives Sunny Lensless Studio Podcast Facebook Group": https://www.facebook.com/groups/CFNSLSP. The first episode will be hosted by the kind folks over at CLP! We would like to take this opportunity to thank our loyal listeners for their patronage and hope to see you join the CFNSLSP family. Sincerely,
This week, Johnny and Simon are joined by Nick Lyle, one half of the Homemade Camera Podcast. Nick, when he's not being a blacksmith and an artist, likes to make Frankencameras out of trashed camera parts so he knows a thing or two about adapting lenses where they don't normally belong. Plus find out how to make a stitched super high resolution image using a medium format lens without moving the lens...

The show starts off by explaining why downloading the Homemade Camera Podcast will help your love life (9:15) but then move almost directly into 3D Printing and the technologies available to the camera builder. The Korean watchmaker 3 Hands Studio (https://www.instagram.com/3hands_studio/) is mentioned (42:00) and while it is not mentioned on the podcast, his exposed clockwork cameras are very worthy of appreciation (https://www.instagram.com/p/BqeKNXdBvMT/). Ethan talks about his new camera design that is a follow up to the Cameradactyl that was so hugely popular on Kickstarter (45:45). They next discuss metal cutting methods in the goal of developing a 6X12 roll film back for a 4X5 camera (1:04:40) and why laser or water jet cutting might be too expensive for a small batch camera. In the process, Nick tells us about a Flatter or Top Tool and why you need a big hammer in the tool bag if you want to make a camera. Nick asks Ethan about where the Butter camera that goes with the Buttergrips is (1:19:00) and Ethan tells us about how the Cameradactyl got its colors. Then they talk about why three cars are better than one, or maybe not. Nick’s friend Philip Greene (https://www.flickr.com/photos/philipgreene) has been getting some good results from Harmon Direct Positive (1:34:05). Graham starts rambling on about Lumenography and the Lumenboxes he’s been making (1:42:00). He gives credit to Joterman (https://www.instagram.com/joterman/) and to Nicole Small (https://www.instagram.com/joterman/) for providing inspiration and technical information. The mystery of how Graham and Nick met and how the two of them met Ethan is solved (1:51:00)!

Graham opens the episode up with a question about a specific picture on Marina Amaral’s website: https://marinamaral.com/. The picture discussed in the opening question is at https://marinamaral.com/portfolio/lewis-powell/ The source of this week’s episode is a book called 500 cameras (https://www.amazon.com/500-Cameras-Years-Photographic-Innovation/dp/1402780869) Globuscope 4X5 (https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1539547/0) Linhof Technorama 617 (https://kenrockwell.com/tech/617.htm) Kodak Instamatic (http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Kodak_Instamatic_104) Fujifilm GS645 (http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Fuji_GS645_Professional_series) Graham buys something off eBay (45:30) though it is unclear as to what he bought. The Mamiya Universal Press camera (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamiya_Press) is discussed (50:15) though it is not one of the ones chosen from the book. It is one of the truly hideous designs (at least Graham thinks so and since he is writing the notes for this episode, it is declared to be Homemade Camera Podcast canon).
