Woohoo! The Matt Loves Cameras podcast is finally here! In the first episode I try out the smallest SLR and the interchangeable lens camera ever produced: the Pentax Auto 110. Hear my amazing insights into using this tiny camera, and my even more amazing attempts at describing the photos! Also keep listening for mention of my faithful companion: the one, the only, Marshall Dalmatian.
