    Gabe went to New York!

    at B&H, the mighty Shlomo hooked him up with a Rolleiflex 2.8E - so much for that 30-camera limit!

    shot nothing but film with the Leica M6

    went to an event at Kodak House, saw some great stuff shot with with a Kodak Baby Brownie

    and left J + P a cool old Christie’s auction catalog from the Chelsea flea market

    Jeff lingered in Europe!

    bought and then returned a Zeiss Tenax II

    picked up film, books and apparel at the Zurich Ars Imago

    snagged a Freitag Lassie bike-messenger bag at their flagship store as an all-weather beach-friendly camera tote

    back home, his half-cookie Alpa 10s is undergoing major surgery

    while the recent Leica auction featured a similar Alpa 10s half frame

    and also the last original Alpa ever built! the 11es Jubilee

    Kodak Vision 3 may yield gorgeous results, but getting it processed is challenging - Atlanta Film Company to the rescue

    at Nice airport, the Sissi Lu Do Not X-Ray bag was a lifesaver

    we share news of big Chattanooga photo walk we’re sadly missing!

    and finally: two gods have ascended to a higher plane, Ozzy Osbourne and Tom Lehrer

    Jun 5 2025
    Once again I Dream of Cameras spans the globe, with Jeff in Prague and Gabe in Los Angeles, and not even a nine-hour time difference can slow us down! In fact, one might say we are utterly devoid of camera viscosity, or “camerosity” for short. In this supersized episode…Jeff unknowingly chatted up Danny Clinch about his Leica Q2 at the Trombone Shorty Soho Session, and the acclaimed photographer was faintly dismissivefor the next two months Jeff’s in Prague, where the camera shops (FotoŠkoda, Jan Pazdera) are far too alluringhe’s been eyeing a lovely Zeiss Tenax II, a flawed Olympus 35SPn, and a beautifully brassed black Canonflex RMbefore departure, Jeff did the unthinkable: snagged a bargain-basement half-frame Alpa 10s on the ‘Bay - it’s half a Swiss cookie and the realization of a lifelong dream!talking Leicas with Dave Tada, Gabe realized he needs a 35mm lens for his Leica III - he already has the 50mm Serenar, so any suggestions?Gabe went to the Fujifilm event for their bizarre new half-a-cookie digital - what did he learn about the elusive x100vi?Gabe has gone half-cookie INSANE with his Olympus Pen FT, so now our friend Sissi Lu has enticed him to give the Pentax One Seven one more try - what will he grab next, the chunky plastic Pentax or the mighty meterless Olympus Pen FV?he’s got a portrait shoot coming up, and plans to use the Kiev 60, the Leica III and the Mamiya RZ67as for replenishing his collection, he’s up to 27 of a planned 30 cameras Jeff was shooting around Prague when Sudden Fujifilm Battery Death struck again! Fuji’s battery displays in both the XPan and GA645 are pure fictionGabe’s also been rebuilding his book collection with Duane Michals Portraits and volumes by Sarah Moon and Clifford Coffinlet us now praise John Wade’s Retro Cameras, which is what Ralph Bellamy’s book should have beenonce again we make it halfway down the depths of our Prodigious Mailbag™Gabe unleashes a raft of thank-yousand adds a final postscript: nature is healing and he’s back in the bag business, welcoming a new Nomatic Luma McKinnon
