The Camerosity Podcast is a film photography podcast that covers collecting, using, repairing, and the history of classic film and digital cameras. We love all kinds of cameras, and often talk about specific brands or formats of cameras with an emphasis on the history and stories these cameras have.

Episode 84: Hip to Be Square

Jan 21 2025 97 mins  
We are back with the first new episode of 2025! The Camerosity crew hopes you had a good start to the new year. Unfortunately, the episode we had planned to have Jeff and Gabe from the I Dream of Cameras podcast had to be postponed due to the wildfires in Los Angeles. Instead, we went to the Camerosity mailbox (aka Facebook) and did an episode about square format cameras. We had in

Episode 83: Spontaneous Contax

Dec 31 2024 115 mins  
The end of the year is almost here, and the guys and I were getting that itch to record something, so on a dreary Boxing Day, we all got together for a spontaneous episode to catch up on what we've been doing. We did not post the join link this time, but we managed to coerce our friends Dan Cuny and Ray Nason to join us for some post-Christmas camera discussion. To help us find thi

Episode 82: The Coolest Digital Cameras

Nov 30 2024 115 mins  
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 a film camera is not enough of a challenge for you, perhaps you should consider collecting vintage digital cameras. Incompa

Episode 81: No One Is Immune to GAS

Nov 23 2024 111 mins  
At the end of Episode 80, we promised an entire show dedicated to Zeiss-Ikon. Unfortunately, things got in the way of us being able to dedicate the necessary time to prepare to cover such a complex and important company, so we decided to pivot and do another GAS episode. Anthony and Theo were only able to make brief appearances, but joining Paul and Mike on this show was a well ro

Episode 80: Totally 80s

Nov 07 2024 106 mins  
Everyone get out your Aqua Net hair spray and G.I. Joe lunchboxes because it is time to hop in the Hot Tub Time Machine and go back to the 80s! In this, the 80th episode of the Camerosity Podcast, we revisit the decade where Michael Jackson and Madonna reigned supreme, taking a look at everyone's favorite cameras from that decade. The Nikon F3, Minolta Maxxum 7000, Olympus XA2, the

Episode 79: Medium Format SLRs

Oct 21 2024 91 mins  
On this episode of the Camerosity Podcast, the guys took a suggestion off the top of the Camerosity Suggestion Box™ and dedicated this episode to medium format SLRs. That's right, finally, an entire episode dedicated to Bronica, Mamiya, Rolleiflex, Kiev, and Norita SLRs (but not that H-brand). Joining Anthony, Paul, Theo, and Mike on this show are returning callers A.J. Gentile,

Episode 78: Super Ikontas, Pearls, and No Anthony!

Oct 07 2024 72 mins  
One of the benefits to having four hosts is that if something comes up and someone can't be on a recording, the show can go on. For Episode 78, we were short Anthony, so what did the guys decide to talk about while he wasn't there? One of Anthony's favorite cameras of course! The Zeiss-Ikon Super Ikonta 532/16 is a medium format folding camera that shoots 6cm x 6cm images and is on

Episode 77: Camerosity Blogging

Oct 01 2024 97 mins  
In what is a record for the longest time between recording and release, Episode 77 is finally here! Recorded more than 2 weeks ago, in this episode we follow up Episode 76 with a second episode about "stuff we know". Before they were podcast superstars, Theo, Mike, and Paul have blogs and we wanted to share some behind the scenes secrets of the wonderful world of blogging. Joining

Episode 76: Buying and Selling Cameras

Sep 11 2024 107 mins  
For most episodes of this show, we rely on experts to come and talk to us about a specific topic. We value the experiences and knowledges of people who know a lot about a brand or a style of camera to teach us something that we didn't already know. For Episode 76 however, we decided to go with something the Camerosity hosts are already experts on, which is buying and selling camera

Episode 75: The Definitive Pentax Podcast with Gerjan van Oosten

Aug 15 2024 77 mins  
A brand of camera that we've talked quite a bit about on this show is Pentax, but in every episode where this brand came up, the same book and author gets brought up as a great resource for screw mount Pentax and Takumar lenses, which is "The Ultimate/Definitive Asahi Pentax Collector's Guide 1952-1977" by Gerjan van Oosten. While this is a great book to read, this is a podcast, so
