This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Toronto Film Shooters Meetup. Our co-founder Alex started the initiative and noticed a post on the old APUG Toronto subforum wanting more film photography-centred meetups in the GTA. Having co-hosted an APUG/FPP meetup in May 2011, attended another APUG event later in the month. And also having attended Photostock in 2012 along with a 2013 APUG events in North-East Ohio. He felt ready to start organizing a large-scale regional event four times a year. So in July 2013, the very first TFS event took place at Toronto's Evergreen Brick Works. And while the group has grown and changed and even survived a global pandemic, it is still a driving force within the film photography community through the GTA and beyond! You can check out Alex's photos from the event on Flickr. Looking to join a future walk, or just like the idea of the TFS, you can join our group on Facebook! Or make sure to check out Toronto Analog Friends over on Instagram and join their Discord for meetup details.

It's been a long time since we've had a show where we shouted into the void, so we're shouting again and going on about some of the stranger decisions of the photographic industry has taken throughout their histories. We will avoid some of the more recent news coming out of Kodak Alaris, but we will dig into some of the more interesting historical choices of companies. Join John, Bill, Jess, Alex &amp; James as we cover things from 620 Film, 828 Film, the Mamiya Universal, strange lenses, and early tech that didn't work out or last as long as people thought! This episode also marks the final episode for our long-time co-host John Meadows. He has been a stalwart of our team since our first episode and our tireless sound engineer and editor. This is, of course, not goodbye, as he will be returning on occasion.

Matt from ReveniLabs joins Alex for an update on the latest from ReveniLabs! And things have been busy since the release of the brilliant spot meter. This time Matt is pushing a new incident and reflective meter that is unique in the sense that it is designed to slip over your fingers. It looks like a knuckleduster. The meter is designed to take both incident and reflective meter readings. It also can do flash metering, calculate flash power, and take the colour temperature. All readings are displayed on a small screen and controlled with a four-way joystick. The device is clean and well designed and fits in hand. Matt has also created a home multi-tank automated film developing system named DUNKBOT. This can run through multiple chemical tanks, complete agitation, heating, filling, and program in your favourite methods. Perfect for black &amp; white along with colour development. If this interests you, why not head to Kickstarter and support the Dunkbot! And finally, a smaller device to help pull your film negatives into your print files without them binding or sticking. You can find all you need from ReveniLabs in the following places. Website: www.reveni-labs.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/revenilabs/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/revenilabs/

As a podcast that promotes ourselves as helping to feed photographers GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrom), it can be a breath of fresh air to help people find ways to reduce the amount of GAS that they suffer from. But in light of our previous episode and talking about keeping things simple, the team decided to sit down and discuss ways to help reduce GAS. Through everything from looking critically at your gear to determining what you needed and wanted to do with your equipment. And how to help get this gear into other people's hands who will use it rather than let it sit collecting dust. And how to still get that thrill of the purchase by spending money wisely, getting a new lens, flash, filter or a roll of your favourite film. Not always go with the cheap option just because you can, but you will miss out on the camera you want. The team then gets into a good set of roundtable questions about photography in general and getting started.

Let’s face it; film photography can be fairly frustrating. A lot can go wrong, and some things can be more difficult when viewed through a modern context.

Classic Camera Revival - Episode 140 - Worth the Effort

As a follow-up to part one, where the team tackled the black &amp; white motion picture films that have been creeping into the still photography lane, on this episode, we're talking about the colour films that are available from the motion picture world that are becoming popular among still photographers as they are more readily available. But we are also bringing in some ringers, Bill Manning and Christina Haley from the Atlanta Film Co, to give us a breakdown and something Euphoric! The Atlanta Film Co is a collaboration between Bill Manning (formerly of the Studio C-41 1 Hour Podcast), Christian Haley (Lab Manager) and Michael Beattie of Dunwoody Photo. Dunwoody was formed out of the former Wolf Camera when that store shut down to continue a full wet lab service, including film processing and true RA4 printing. Designed to serve the Dunwoody neighbourhood of Atlanta, GA, they quickly found themselves the only lab in the area that provided this service. But like all film shops these days, they began to see a major shortage of colour negative film that had gained popularity. So the Atlanta Film Co was formed to provide a ready supply of Kodak Vision3 motion picture film and to try ECN-2 processing for those using the film in their still cameras. ECN-2 processing is provided by the nearby Kodak Motion Picture Film Lab, and AFC makes two weekly runs to and from that lab. And the best part is that they offer up their worldwide sales and services (including ECN-2 processing)! The Atlanta Film Co stocks and sells Kodak Vision3 500T, 200T and 250D as their core colour negative films. But recently, they started selling Eastman E100D Colour Reversal 7294, which sells under the Euphoric 100 name. inspired by cinematographer Marcell Rév's use of the film in the show's second season and his cross-processing 7294 in ECN-2 chemistry. This inspired the name Euphoric 100, and the response has been mind-blowing. If you want to pick up some Euphoric 100 or other Vision3 offerings, check out the Atlanta Film Co at the following locations!

As a follow-up to part one, where the team tackled the black &amp; white motion picture films that have been creeping into the still photography lane, on this episode, we're talking about the colour films that are available from the motion picture world that are becoming popular among still photographers as they are more readily available. But we are also bringing in some ringers, Bill Manning and Christina Haley from the Atlanta Film Co, to give us a breakdown and something Euphoric!

Classic Camera Revival - Episode 139 - Twenty-Four FPS Pt. 2

The 1970s were weird. Polyester leisure suits, disco, drugs, and all the euphoria of the post-war boom before the crashing realisation of the 1980s. But it also was a major turning point for the photography market. You had the small form factor SLR hit the stage with the Olympus OM-1 and the beginnings of automation through electronics. Many camera makers picked a direction and went with it, but Canon, Canon had to be different. They went both ways and produced two forms of semi-automatic cameras, the EF and the A-1. So in today's episode, Bill and John decide to take these two cameras out but shoot the one they aren't used to. Bill takes on the Canon A-1 while John carries around the Canon EF.

The team here digs into the cursed cameras as we get into the spooky season. Those that never worked right or had something strange going on made us want to call in a young priest and an old priest. These cameras include the Zenit 3m that John kept trying to find a working body, but at least got that sweet Helios 44 lens (in m39 mount), and even his one working body ended up having shutter issues. Bill and the Canon F-1 with a mysterious light leak due to a bad repair job. Alex and his struggles with the iconic Argus C3 and the strange tale of Nikon's first attempt at a consumer line of cameras, the Nikkorex 35|2.

Classic Camera Revival - Episode 137 - Cursed Cameras

The in depth reviews and passion for photography these folks share is compelling. The eposides where they have focused on a system or brand have really helped me understand some of the vintage cameras and their experiences have been extremely valuable.

Great podcast

Overall I found this podcast to be an easy listen, generally informative about film cameras and sort of keeps me excited about film and film cameras!!!  I hope they keep it going for a while and get into some more in depth camera/film reviews.

A decent podcast!

Classic Camera Revival

Bill and Alex Smith sit down to discuss the camera that started it all, well at least the "System" SLR. And while the Nikon F was based on several advances in the past, it is solidified today as an icon and the camera that started Nikon down the Professional SLR path.

They aren't flashy, pretty, but they do a good job. Like a Reliant K, they get you from point A to B without trouble or style. But they at least do an excellent job in the field. On this episode, the gang discusses the Pentax ME Super, Nikkormat FT, Olympus Pen EE-S2, and Yashica Minister III. We also bring up a new scanner starting to show up in Airports that will destroy your film if it goes through. And we sit down with special guest host Byran!
