Episode 26: GASonline Alley and Absurd Auctions

This week on episode 26 we play catch up on a lack of GAS discussion over the past couple of episodes. Theo, Paul, Anthony, and Mike all have a large number of cameras that they’ve come across, and not always from the usual sources. In addition to GAS, we share a story about the Ohio Camera Collector’s Society Auction earlier this month in Columbus, Ohio in which bidding got really out of hand and the state of regional camera shows.

Other topics discussed are ways to develop 116/616 film using regular Paterson reels, the best way to store a large camera collection, and Mike’s recommendation on a cheap way to shoot wide angle Nikkor rangefinder lenses.

Joining us are returning callers, Robert Rotoloni, Dan Tree, Miles Libak, Jon Gilchrist, Mark Beadle and Wannes Scheipers, and first time callers, Aiden Dean, Alex Dietrich, and all the way from Johannesburg, South Africa, Dean Blumberg who also share in their latest pickups, questions, and general camera collector miscellany.

Every episode, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are decided entirely upon you, so if you’d like to join us next time, be sure to look out for our next show announcement for Episode 27, which will be recorded on Sunday, May 29th!
