An XL episode boasting two blockbuster features: Gabe’s recap of his adventures covering New York Fashion Week, followed by our survey of the esteemed camera marque known as Nikon.

Gabe recounts shooting NYFW and the Met Gala

Jeff’s new acquisitions: a Canon P rangefinder… and (on the way) the Canon RF 50mm f1.4, the Japanese Summilux

And now: our Nikon show!

when did you become aware of Nikon, and what was your first?

Nikon rangefinders: the SP and its siblings

the Nikon/Canon wars of the '70s/‘80s

evolution of the F: F2, F3…

why no more rangefinders? (till the S3 2000 and SP 2005 commemorative editions)

spurred by the OM-1, Nikon goes compact: the FM and FE series

the Nikkormat / Nikomat

the FM3a — their best ever? 1/4000 with no battery!

the coveted FM2/T Year of the Dog edition

consider the Nikonos — they’re so cheap!

countless point & shoot Nikons, APS cameras…

the 35Ti, which is not good!

favorite lenses (e.g. the 105mm f2.5)

one Nikon to rule them all: which would you choose?
