The Classic Camera Revival
In 2014 Alex Luyckx asked me about starting up a podcast with John Meadows and my wife Dawn Bitaxi. Well, after a bit of discussion we all agreed to start it up. In January 2015 we recorded our first episodes.
What an exhilarating experience! We discussed our Workhorse cameras… I talked about my black beauty Canon T90… while Alex discussed the Nikon F4. My wife Dawn discussed the Olympus OM2 S/P (which has sadly since died) and John discussed his beautiful Mamiya M645 Pro!
In episode 2 we went outside the box to Box Cameras…! I talked all about my Agfa Shurshot Box Camera, Alex talked about a Kodak Brownie Box and Dawn discussed the Kodak Brownie Bullseye camera…
And finally in Episode III we got into the Rangefinders… Those wonderful cameras that we all love to use for Street photography. They are super quiet and unobtrusive. From the Leica to the Zeiss Contax…. I discussed my Kodak 35 RF, while Dawn discussed her beautiful (and incredibly sharp) Olympus 35SP. Alex happily blabbed on and on about his Himatic 7 from Minolta, which is a real sleeping gem of a camera… John, however, stole the show with his stunningly beautiful Voigtlander Bessa! Talk about a real star of a camera! LTM mount, and TTL metering!
You can catch us every month at the end of the month on iTunes and from the Classic Camera Revival Blog (hosted by author of the Podcast Alex Luyckx). Stay tuned as we delve into APS and DIY… plus the Communist Cameras in May!
Also with all episodes we also discuss Darkroom printing and at-home developing! Look forward to hearing from you regarding the CLASSIC CAMERA REVIVAL! Until next time, keep those shutters firing!

Sounds like fun! Right now my favorites are my Nikon FG, Yashica Mat LM, and my Minolta HiMatic G. They all have such different personalities. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh very much fun!
