Leicaflex, Contarex, Rolleiflex, Magicflex, Omegaflex! Olivia Dean and Debbie Gibson! Seth Rogen’s gone pano and the Swiss Army’s gone XXL! It’s IDOC’s jam-packiest episode yet, ’cause unless Debbie sings our theme song, it could be the Olympus Pen-ultimate! Tune in for all the mayhem!

Birthday madness! Gabe got Jeff a Leicaflex SL at B&H Photo, whatta guy!

The SL’s PX625 battery presents some challenges

Chad GPT misled Jeff regarding the 50mm Summicron-R - turns out it takes a Series VI filter with a retaining ring

the new camera prompted the customary orgy of book-ordering; however, only Jeff wants a Leicaflex book signed by author Theo Kisselbach

please note: chromogenic Ilford XP2 Super scans much better than HP5 or Tri-X!

Gabe visited with Sissi Lu, who has a new podcast and showed off her Kodak Charmera

also, her googly-eyed lens cloth charm is back in stock at sissilu.com

Gabe went on a sudden mad hunt for a Contarex Bullseye and a 50mm lens

…and got a lens board for his Beseler 67C enlarger, thanks to Steve Pinter from pintercreative.com - honorable mention to Gabriel Butensky

Gabe met up with our pal Chris Smirnoff, who deluged him with photo books: Yul Brynner, Comedians, Salgado, a Sears photo catalog…

the two also chatted up Instagram shooters Connie and Stewart

in search of brighter focusing screens for his Rolleiflex TLRs, Gabe got some from Magicflex Camera and they’re incredible

Michael Herring (colorblindfish on IG) sent Gabe a gorgeous camera strap from Couch Guitar Straps

hey, the LA Camera Expo is bigger than ever! Gabe took a hard look at an Omegaflex and backed away

Jeff attended the Olivia Dean Soho Session and this time did NOT interact with Danny Clinch

P is on the cover of Numero Magazine, one of Gabe’s favorites

Seth Rogen is a Widelux and XPan aficionado - let’s get him on the show!

speaking of which: whither Debbie Gibson…?

it’s holiday gift time, check our merch page!

P got Jeff a Swiss Champ XXL Swiss Army Knife for his birthday because she’s wonderful

and finally, we dip a few toes into our Prodigious Mailbag™
