Welcome to the home of the Camerosity Podcast, the world’s first open source film photography podcast.  Unlike other film photography podcasts where the hosts get to decide what’s talked about, the Camerosity Podcast relies on live callers such as yourself.

Each episode is recorded (usually) every other Monday evening, and prior to the recording, we post a link for anyone to join in the show to ask questions or share your latest pick ups.  Show announcements and all previous shows are listed below, but can also be found on our official Facebook and Instagram pages:

We look forward to hearing from you!

When you collect vintage film cameras, if they don’t work, just send it out for a CLA and some technician will take it apart, clean it up, lube what needs lubing, calibrate the shutter and it is ready to go, good as new!  How boring!  If the simplicity of CLAing…
