Gabe goes to a celebrity wedding; Jeff appears in Vogue Portugal. Gabe has a birthday; Jeff has a breakdown. And all the while, they scour the globe in search of the world’s finest vintage camera shops. Tune in for pulled pork and wienerschnitzel and much, much more!

* Cameras of ’61:

* Olympus Pen EE

* Canon 7

* Rolleiflex wide-angle

* Pentax H1/S1

* A vintage Hasselblad 500c ad: What could possibly make a camera worth $550?

* Gabe had a birthday and received a photo-themed gift: Life Magazine and the Power of Photography, featuring his beloved Gordon Parks

* Our corporate retreat in Austin, Texas featured visits to The Camera Exchange and Austin Camera, followed by BBQ at Rollin’ Smoke, where you get a free beer with your tip

* Gabe’s verdict on the Nikon 28Ti: he agrees it’s boring and prefers the Yashica T4!

* Jeff’s Pentax ES II mega-saga: if your stuff gets damaged by UPS, submit a claim! As for Electro Spotmatics of all sorts, never again!

* The new I'm Back digital insert for 35mm cameras is larger than it appears - would you do it?

* We were gifted a complete set of Atlanta Film Co. films from Bill Manning

* Jeff returned to Vienna, which is vintage camera heaven! Notable stops included Camera 31, Westlicht, Jo Geier, United Camera and the astounding Photo Börse

* More security hassles in Frankfurt - next time, lie about your ISO!

* Gabe’s been shooting with his Rolleiflex and Leica M6

* Jeff spent some time with Leica photographer Pat Domingo

* Also a shout-out to Branislav Simoncik, who shot P for Vogue Portugal

* Starting with Episode 17, the subtitles on the episode page at idreamofcameras.com became delightfully obscure references, yet nobody ever mentions them. Y’all paying attention?
