| 31 Jan 2021 | #140 City By The Sea With Anil Mistry | 02:12:49 | |
Anil’s back and he’s brought his Unusual Eye with him. It’s just as well that we had Anil booked as Johnny had a Red Dot course to attend and could not be with us. As well as chatting about Anil’s excellent new photo book, which you can win a copy of it by entering our exciting new completion… This week’s podcast turned into a marathon session as we took the opportunity to (almost) finish off our latest backlog of emails.

| 21 Nov 2020 | #136 Emails, Part Trois | 01:22:19 | |
Just when you thought that we could not keep it up for two weeks on the trot, another show turns up like a bad penny. The week sees us reach the finale of our listener emails trilogy and includes a special section where we hear from supporters of the much maligned Mike "it's all my fault" Gutterman. Having got the obligatory Leica talk out of the way, we cover some great topics including non-vanilla Pentax lenses, why a Nikon DSLR is rarely the answer to anything, and classic lens webcams. ________ LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Pobean | iTunes | Stitcher ________ NOTES ________ TAGS #CLP136 #Pentax #Takumar #LeicaMP #Bokeh ________ SUPPORT THE PODCAST Donate on Ko-fi ________ CONTACT Send ideas & questions for the podcast EMAIL LIST Sign-up to receive an email when each podcast goes live INSTAGRAM BestVintageLens | #classiclenses | #bestvintagelens MERCHANDISE Official Classic Lenses Podcast Swag ________ FOLLOW THE HOSTS Simon Forster Website | Ebay | Flickr | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LFPP Perry Ge Website | Flickr | Instagram Johnny Sisson Instagram | Central Camera Company | Kodak Bantam Special Looks Like a Pimp ________ BE LIKE KARL Karl Havens The Karl Havens Excellence Endowment | Flickr | Instagram ________ PODCAST THEME Octoblues Royalty Free Music by Kevin Macleod ________ Classic Lenses Podcast is (not) Sponsored by Jeppson's Malört The Goatsecx of Liquors Fuckyoswag Chicago Media Production J.D.

Mike Eckman makes an overdue reappearance and we catch up on some of the things he’s been up to recently with his classic camera review website, www.mikeeckman.com. It turns out that Mike has been writing articles about cameras with bad names, and if taking about cameras such as the Trumpfreflex is not enough, Mike accepts the challenge to take part in the second Classic Lenses Podcast Pub Quiz.

Our second anniversary and our 100th show. To mark the occasion professional lens designer, Jason Lane has returned and this time you get to see the software that Karl, Johnny and Simon were raving about in Karl’s final show, Episode #64. So here’s something of a first for us, a podcast designed to be watched on Youtube, rather than just listened to as an audio file. Having moved away from highly technical shows, here’s one for those people that want to get down and dirty at the lens element scale as Jason gives an insight into the world of lens design.

Well we’ve had a three week break and it’s done us the world of good. We’re more relaxed and less opinionated than ever. A mountain of quality emails helps us to gently ease ourselves back into the swing of things with topics including Speed Panchros, Summarits, fake sharpness, a zoom lens, Jeremy North on the Mamiya C330 and other things. On another note, if you’re a thin-skinned Missourian, Hoosier, Wisconsinite or French, you may want to skip this week’s show. ________ LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Pobean | iTunes | Stitcher ________ NOTES Here's why you'll never find Chinese takeout boxes in China Rivals on all borders of Badger State You Know You're From Michigan When... ________ TAGS #CLP134 #Biokar #BeautyCameraCo #FritoPie #ChopSuey #Klandiana #Cheeseheads #Frogs ________ SUPPORT THE PODCAST Donate on Ko-fi ________ CONTACT Send ideas & questions for the podcast EMAIL LIST Sign-up to receive an email when each podcast goes live INSTAGRAM BestVintageLens | #classiclenses | #bestvintagelens MERCHANDISE Official Classic Lenses Podcast Swag ________ FOLLOW THE HOSTS Simon Forster Website | Ebay | Flickr | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LFPP Perry Ge Website | Flickr | Instagram Johnny Sisson Instagram | Central Camera Company | Kodak Bantam Special Looks Like a Pimp ________ BE LIKE KARL Karl Havens The Karl Havens Excellence Endowment | Flickr | Instagram ________ PODCAST THEME Octoblues Royalty Free Music by Kevin Macleod ________ Classic Lenses Podcast is (not) Sponsored by Jeppson's Malört The Goatsecx of Liquors Fuckyoswag Chicago Media Production J.D.

Johnny could not be with us this week, he’s felling a little better but he has other pressing concerns, so Perry and Simon man up and take on the mammoth task of responding to your emails. In the last podcast, Simon asked listeners for feedback on what they wished to hear in future shows and boy did you tell us!

Dr Karl Havens left us a year ago this week and we still miss him dearly. To mark his passing, we take Karl’s memory to our desert island and do our best to work out what cameras and lenses he might have taken with him.

| 22 Apr 2021 | #143 Isabel Curdes And Her Desert Island Lenses | 01:27:08 | |
In July, 2019 (Episode #77), we thoroughly enjoyed having the rare talent that is Isabel Curdes on the show, so we are delighted to able to maroon her on our desert island with 4 special lenses and two cameras (one is a big digital camera with a stupid shutter speed dial (if you're Simon and have weird issues with shutter speed dials.)) Isabel's picks are pretty stellar, which is not surprising seeing how many lenses she's gone through over the years. As well as getting to know Isabel's lenses better, we also have a quick chat about the automated mounted slide "scanning" device, the Cameradactyl BoopBoop Trigger and give definitive advice to Graeme Jago in his hunt for a new Cheap Shot Challenge camera...

Following a lengthy discussion on stray Australian marsupials, we dive into a host of more pressing questions this week. Will Perry succumb to Rodenstock GAS? What is Johnny's perfect TLR accessory? Is Simon hoarding Tessars? Plus chat about vintage cameras in Netflix shows, whether gear should be sold for "grail" purchases, and super telephoto lenses for birding.

Just when Simon thought that Johnny and Perry would be done talking about rangefinders after last week’s great show with Dan Tamarkin, he was proven to be wrong. Simon was also wrong about the Mongoose by Ethan “Cameradactyl” Moses, which already met its funding target after just one day.

Ethan Moses, esteemed podcast tart of Cameradactyl, Homemade Camera Podcast, and guest on every other podcast ever fame, joins us to talk about lenses, lots and lots of lenses. Mamiya Press lenses, his favourite Nikon and rangefinder glass, and medium format Russian lenses. For listeners of a nervous disposition, Ethan does not treat his lenses with tender loving care. Also Johnny was feeling under the weather this week, so Perry talks too much about RF lenses to Ethan instead. ________ LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Pobean | iTunes | Stitcher ________ Ethan Moses CAMERADACTYL CAMERAS | BRANCOPAN Kickstarter | Homemade Camera Podcast | Instagram ________ #103 LINKS Canon Canonette 1965 TV Commercial Kiev 60 / Pentacon Six Standard Lens Test ________ EPISODE 103 TAGS #CLP103 #CAMERADACTYL #BRANCOPAN #HomemadeCameraPodcast ________ SUPPORT THE PODCAST Donate on Ko-fi ________ CONTACT Send ideas & questions for the podcast EMAIL LIST Sign-up to receive an email when each podcast goes live INSTAGRAM BestVintageLens | #classiclenses | #bestvintagelens ________ FOLLOW THE HOSTS Simon Forster Website | Ebay | Flickr | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LFPP Perry Ge Website | Flickr | Instagram Johnny Sisson Instagram | Central Camera Company ________ BE LIKE KARL Karl Havens The Karl Havens Excellence Endowment | Flickr | Instagram ________ PODCAST THEME Octoblues Royalty Free Music by Kevin Macleod ________ Classic Lenses Podcast is (not) Sponsored by Jeppson's Malört Chicago's very own fine bitter Swedish liquor | |||
| 25 Mar 2019 | #61 Adapting and Modifying with Nick Lyle | 01:43:14 | |
This week, Johnny and Simon are joined by Nick Lyle, one half of the Homemade Camera Podcast. Nick, when he's not being a blacksmith and an artist, likes to make Frankencameras out of trashed camera parts so he knows a thing or two about adapting lenses where they don't normally belong. Plus find out how to make a stitched super high resolution image using a medium format lens without moving the lens...

After last week's disaster, we take some time out to catch up with the classic lens related things we've been getting up to recently, so as usual, many topics are covered. Johnny is forced to justify (again) why the Canon 50mm f/1.8 LTM is a "Budget" lens, a listeners email leads to a conversation about how different lenses work on different sensors, and Simon has his drink spiked shortly before being interviewed at The Photography Show by the Sunny 16 Podcast.

| 26 Mar 2021 | #142 Global GAS | 01:58:20 | |
There's something in the air, it's almost tangible... that's right it's pent up GAS, and we've just released it! Perry finally (and properly) breaks his No Nut November pledge from last October, Simon meets one of his hero lenses, and Johnny has extreme Leica satisfaction. Plenty of lens talk on adapting projection lenses, adapting the Contax G 35mm/2 Planar to Leica M, and some sharp practice by an auction house.

Just when Karl, Johnny, and Simon started to think they knew about lenses, Jason Lane comes along and makes them realize how little they actually know. Why does a Petzval swirl? Why do new high resolution lenses have a gazillion elements? Why is field of view is more important than focal length to a designer? These, and many more questions, are answered in this highly technical episode.

| 29 Apr 2019 | #65 Classic Karl | 01:15:51 | |
Host of the Classic Lenses Podcast, Creator of the Photography With Classic Lenses Facebook group, Professor and Program Director at the University of Florida, husband to Pam and father to Andy, has died. Karl had suffered from a heart condition for which he took medication and unfortunately for us all, his heart gave up suddenly on Friday. It saddens us greatly to share this news here. Karl was a guest recently on the Sunny 16 Podcast, and our friends Ade, Rachel, and Graeme have graciously allowed us to share that episode here with you in tribute to our friend Karl. Beneath Karl's relaxed manner was a man of passion; a passion for his abstract art, a passion for ecology a passion for photography, a passion for his friends and a passion for his family. To honor Karl's memory, the Havens family would be very grateful if people would support the Down Syndrome Association of Central Florida (DSACF). Thank you for keeping Karl and his family in your thoughts. ________ KARL HAVENS Flickr | Instagram ________ LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Pobean | iTunes | Stitcher | |||

A round-up on some the things that we've been up to lately. Simon had a table at the UK's largest camera fair, Photographica 2019 in London, and went mad for Tessars. Johnny traded his Nikon S2 for some magic blue beans in the shape of a Bessa R. Lots of lens talk as usual, listener questions, and we don't manage to answer why Johnny prefers a Kiev to a Nikon S2 and Simon prefers a FED S to a Leica II.

We finally get around to answering your emails this week! Seeing that Perry is gallivanting around North America, we asked frenemy of the show and the man behind the constructive feedback summaries of our show on Instagram's @bestvintagelens, Ricardo Bayon to sit in the third seat and help us out. Topics include cheap vs expensive adapters, focusing screens, why it's difficult to adapt some lenses to other systems, what does the aperture pin do, and what's wrong with a Spotmatic? Plus a couple of questions that take us into the depths/pit of why we like lenses that are far from perfect. ________ LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Pobean | iTunes | Stitcher ________ Ricardo Bayon Instagram | bestvintagelens EPISODE 78 LINKS & REFERENCES HELIOS 44m-4 to Nikon Adjustment Camera Mounts Sorted by Register Garry Winogrand at Rice University ________ SUPPORT THE PODCAST Donate on Ko-fi ________ CONTACT Send ideas & questions for the podcast EMAIL LIST Sign-up to receive an email when each podcast goes live INSTAGRAM BestVintageLens | #classiclenses | #bestvintagelens ________ FOLLOW THE HOSTS Simon Forster Website | Ebay | Flickr | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LFPP Perry Ge Website | Flickr | Instagram Johnny Sisson Instagram | Central Camera Company ________ BE LIKE KARL Karl Havens Flickr | Instagram ________ PODCAST THEME Octoblues Royalty Free Music by Kevin Macleod ________ #CLP78 #bestvintagelenses #frenemies #lensadapters

Perry is still hitting the road to New Brunswick in Canada, so we've asked Eric Sluis to take time out from shooting all sorts of weird activities that go on outside his front door at Mons in Belgium, to take up the hot seat. Having postponed "The Nigel Cliff Question" from last week as it was simply too colossal for the time we had, Eric, Johnny, and Simon tackled the question, "Can a cheap lens compete with an expensive one?" Of course the answer is, "It depends" but extraordinarily, that phrase was not used.

Johnny’s back and he’s got a new toy, Perry has moved on from shooting riots to shooting the Zombie Apocalypse that is Coronavirus Hong Kong, and Simon is utterly confused as to whether familiarity with equipment is the road to photography enlightenment or whether it’s just great gear or both and neither.

Perry returns, but Simon disappears! Due to some technical difficulties at the Classic Lenses Podcast UK home office, we lose Simon part way through the episode, but Perry and Johnny continue on unsupervised. Perry shares tales of astrophotography and lobster rolls from his holiday in The Maritimes, and gets starry-eyed over his new Topcor 3.5cm lens. Johnny discusses finer points of the Canon IVSB, and pays tribute to his teacher and mentor, Barbara Crane.

We mentioned that Mike Novak was in Chicago town last week, and this week we find out what he got up to on his visit with friends and our own Johnny Sisson. Yes, that means lots of talk about “real” pizza, some stuff they call pizza and sell to tourists, dipped sandwiches and why a McDonalds does a roaring trade in ketchup sachets. In between culinary exploits, we learn more about the miniature wonder of the Rollei 35 and why scale/zone focussing does not make a camera useless, as well as comfort zones and Wirgins. ________ LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Podbean | iTunes | Stitcher ________ MIKE NOVAK flickr | Instagram | Beautiful Grainy Mush EPISODE 82 LINKS & REFERENCES Chicago Portage National Historic Site Perspective Control in Images - Focal Length or Distance? ________ SUPPORT THE PODCAST Donate on Ko-fi ________ CONTACT Send ideas & questions for the podcast EMAIL LIST Sign-up to receive an email when each podcast goes live INSTAGRAM BestVintageLens | #classiclenses | #bestvintagelens ________ FOLLOW THE HOSTS Simon Forster Website | Ebay | Flickr | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LFPP Perry Ge Website | Flickr | Instagram Johnny Sisson Instagram | Central Camera Company ________ BE LIKE KARL Karl Havens Flickr | Instagram ________ PODCAST THEME Octoblues Royalty Free Music by Kevin Macleod ________ #CLP83 #ScaleFocus #FixedLensClassics #Novakian #Rollei35S #ChicagoStyle #beefsausagecombolightdip

UK camera and lens repair guy, Lyndon Booth of Londinium Cameras dropped in for a chat and to answer listener emails. We had a great time with Lyndon on his first appearance back in February 2019 and his latest visit does not disappoint either. As you may expect, there’s talk of early Britons, (possibly relatives of Lyndon), Einstein, and camera bugs (the living kind that go out on family trips). ________ LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Pobean | iTunes | Stitcher ________ Lyndon Booth Website | Twitter | Facebook ________ EPISODE 126 LINKS Learn Camera Repair Who was Cheddar Man?

We have new acquisitions, and for once, it’s not Perry bringing all the gems to the party… So we have 75mm f/1.5 Biotar talk, an almost complete Contax G2 system in black, as well as the Grail Lens that Perry wanted to take to his desert island. In addition, we talk about the Auto-Takumar 35/3.5, M-Rokkor 40/2, and gifts from Karl's Brother, Todd Havens. ________ LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Podbean | iTunes | Stitcher ________ EPISODE 91 LINKS & REFERENCES Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 75mm f/1.5 Taylor Hobson Anastigmat 2inch ｆ2.0 Reid & Sigrist Ltd.

| 04 Nov 2019 | #92 Embedded with John R. Bruning | 02:09:35 | |
A diverse, engaging, funny and occasionally dark conversation this week with author and former photojournalist John R. Bruning. John talks about how using classic lenses helped him back to normality. Plus, Perry manages to justify buying two subtlety different 35mm lenses, advice on selling children, and how protest photography can become enthralling. No emails this week, we will cover them next week. ________ LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Podbean | iTunes | Stitcher ________ JOHN R.

We’ve not had the time to read out and discuss listener emails recently, so it’s about time we caught up with them. Well, that was the intention, but Johnny and Perry had other ideas and came over all artistic… Plenty of subjects under discussion, including the Canon LTM 50/1.4, 50mm f2 lenses, focus shift, Taylor Hobson 2” f2 Anastigmat, 75mm Biotar, Robot lenses, and mild disappointment with Perry’s star 35mm purchases mentioned last week. ________ LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Podbean | iTunes | Stitcher ________ EPISODE 93 LINKS & REFERENCES IIT Institute of Design: Remembering Barbara Crane Keith A.

So, we tried to make a shorter show this week and ended up making our longest episode. In our defence/defense, we missed a week so we had so much to catch up upon. After a bit of bowel shaming by Simon, we start off by reflecting on on Perry's audio dairy from last week before going full on lens nerdery.

#95 Desert Island Lenses with Cheyenne Morrison This week Cheyenne Morrison joins us as a returning guest from Down Under. We send him from the lovely island of Australia to a much smaller desert island, washed ashore with three lenses from his collection and one dream lens. Johnny is missing this week, but in the meantime, Simon continues his November purchasing spree, while Perry shoots digital and gets tear gassed again.

All is well again at The Gilded CLP Tower as Johnny's connection problems are resolved and Perry has not been gassed (recently).

A slew of Vivitar purchases by Simon is the inspiration for a Vivitar special show where we give something of a potted history of the once great American lens brand. Whilst Vivitar has always been at the value end of the lens market, many of their lenses punched well beyond their weight.

Oh boy... The world has changed a little in the two weeks since our last recording, but thankfully Perry wants to talk about Exakta and Topcon lenses. The elephant that calls itself Covid-19 makes it's presence known and we talk through the different experiences that the we have encountered and how it is affecting our photographic worlds.

The dust has only just settled from the fallout from last week’s show, as we had a record number of comments made about it in our small but perfectly formed Facebook group. Calm has now been restored with some serial number serendipity and Perry’s new acquisitions, one of which uses similar letters to a lens that Simon loves. Also, how to photograph a pimp whilst maintaining his annonyminity.

Normal service is resumed with Johnny & Perry going on about scale focusing issues that could easily be dealt with by adapting to digital or just shooting an SLR camera, and we still love our panorama cameras.

Version 1: After two weeks of having guests on the show, Perry is bursting at the seams to tell us what he’s acquired. Although we finally get a show devoid of mathematics (that’s why it’s called maths and not math), however we can’t leave TLRs completely alone as we discuss the intricacies of square format photography. All this and quite a but of love for Schneider and a few DKL lenses, but no love for Kodak Retina camera bodies. Finally, don’t do an internet search for that phrase you will hear, you have been warned… Version 2: Perry brings his Goatsecx wrecking ball to episode 127 (yes, it’s so bad we can’t use the word or our podcast RSS will get flagged as p*rn. You have been double warned!) A scattershot of topics, everything from Retina DKL to Takumars, the merits and challenges of square format composition, and we even squeeze in a couple of listener emails (we didn’t think it would all fit.)

| 18 Feb 2020 | #106 Ride wit Mistry | 02:22:19 | |
Anil Mistry makes a very welcome return to CLP Towers this week and there’s not a Leica or RF lens in sight, much to the relief to those aspiring street photographers that don’t dig rangefinders. Anil presides over a Fuji vs. Sony fight in which three of the four people on the podcast think that Fuji being a camera company automatically means he should buy a Fuji over a Sony. All this nonsense and loads of lens talk, Japanese Helios, the joy of (digital) printing, and an inexplicable decent into hip-hop. ________ LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Pobean | iTunes | Stitcher ________ ANIL MISTRY Website | Twitter | Instagram ________ EPISODE 106 LINKS Minolta MC Rokkor PG 50mm f1.4 Meyer-Optik Görlitz Lydith 30mm f3.5 Helios Auto Wide Angle 35mm f2.8 Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 135mm f2.8 (C/Y) Lomography Neptune Convertible Art Lens System Voigtlander 40mm f2 Ultron SLII Signs and Wonders: The Photographs of John Beasley Greene - the Art Institute of Chicago Early and Unknown: Photographs from the Archive of Joseph Sterling - Stephen Daiter Gallery Great Sea restaurant in Chicago - Eater Chicago Korea’s Black Day: When Sad, Single People Get Together And Eat Black Food - Smithsonian Magazine ________ EPISODE 106 TAGS #CLP106 #anilmistry #FujivsSony ________ EPISODE 106 SHOUTOUTS Hong Joon Lee | Ron Wightman | Patrick Vennari ________ SUPPORT THE PODCAST Donate on Ko-fi ________ CONTACT Send ideas & questions for the podcast EMAIL LIST Sign-up to receive an email when each podcast goes live INSTAGRAM BestVintageLens | #classiclenses | #bestvintagelens ________ FOLLOW THE HOSTS Simon Forster Website | Ebay | Flickr | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LFPP Perry Ge Website | Flickr | Instagram Johnny Sisson Instagram | Central Camera Company ________ BE LIKE KARL Karl Havens The Karl Havens Excellence Endowment | Flickr | Instagram ________ PODCAST THEME Octoblues Royalty Free Music by Kevin Macleod ________ Classic Lenses Podcast is (not) Sponsored by Jeppson's Malört Chicago's very own fine bitter Swedish liquor Fuckyoswag Chicago media production, Fuckin Swag since 2013

| 31 Mar 2019 | #01 Classic Film Negatives Sunny Lensless Studio Podcast (CFNSLSP) | 01:56:28 | |
This week, we present the final episode of the Classic Lenses Podcast. Our guest is The Man, The Myth, The Legend, from Fort Dodge, Iowa, USA: Mike Novak. We talk Twin Lens Reflex cameras, classic lenses, garden gnomes, Nickon/Naikon cameras, and how to photograph the perfect #NovakianLunch. An unexpected guest from a remote volcanic island stops by to join the chat as well. (Note: Karl is still MIA somewhere in the swamps of Florida...) ________ LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Pobean | iTunes | Stitcher | Google ________ MANIFESTO The Classic Film Negatives Sunny Lensless Studio Podcast Dear listeners, Film photography podcasts have exploded in number and we, the undisputed, established names in this niche have decided it is time to take action. The collective burden of generating fresh, creative content week-on-week in order to satiate the community lust for "all things analog" is not sustainable. We are putting our hands up to say yes, we have occasionally scraped the bottom of the barrel for content and should, no, must be better (getting EM and Hamish on should be red flags to you all by now). In March 2019 we our leadership came together to debate how we could collaborate in the interests of our listenership and the wider film and analog photography community. After heated deliberation, we settled on a single and universally effective solution: We should create a monopoly. Starting April 2019, our individual podcasts will be merging into a single community mammoth: The Classic Film Negatives Sunny Lensless Studio Podcast (CFNSLSP). A single podcast with over a dozen hosts and a new episode nearly every single day of the week will be providing you with: Camera reviews, classic lens reviews, industry insight, chatter, interviews and competitions ...to name a few. Understanding that photography is not everything, we will also have special focus events covering adult beverages, classic timepieces and lifestyle tips. No longer will you need to create playlists for your analogue photography podcast needs. A single voice will be able to provide you with all you need to, or in fact, should know. In the words of Russell Nash, "there can be only one". We would like to take this opportunity to thank our loyal listeners for their patronage and hope to see you join the CFNSLSP family.

We went on a bit this week, or rather Simon and Perry did. Johnny went a way for a while to do some household chores, but sneaked back later hoping he had not been missed. He hadn't, because Simon was salivating over his friend's Contax and Zeiss collection that had been laid before him. So, a camera heavy episode, but with plenty of lots of Planar, Sonnar, and yes, Tessar talk to to keep you happy. ________ LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Pobean | iTunes | Stitcher ________ EPISODE 76 LINKS & REFERENCES Contax RTS, RTS II and RTS III Series SLR cameras Contax Aria Review by Cheyenne Morrison at casualphotophile.com Designed by Porsche: The Samsung ECX1 Rube Goldberg All About That Bass ________ SUPPORT THE PODCAST Donate on Ko-fi ________ CONTACT Send ideas & questions for the podcast EMAIL LIST Sign-up to receive an email when each podcast goes live INSTAGRAM BestVintageLens | #classiclenses | #bestvintagelens ________ FOLLOW THE HOSTS Simon Forster Website | Ebay | Flickr | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LFPP Perry Ge Website | Flickr | Instagram Johnny Sisson Instagram | Central Camera Company ________ BE LIKE KARL Karl Havens Flickr | Instagram ________ PODCAST THEME Octoblues Royalty Free Music by Kevin Macleod ________ #CLP76 #ContaxYashica | |||

Just like the song Tribute by Tenacious D, what you are about to hear is the greatest podcast ever. Tribute. Despite trying to blame Ethan Moses, Simon screwed up royally this week and the entire budget lens spectacular episode was even more incomprehensible than usual.

So, after a summer break, it’s time again to brush up on your 2nd Grade classical history and moderately-sized furry mammal knowledge as it will be required to get the most out of this episode. Off topic we discuss the Fujinon 55mm f/2.2 and a potential clone, the new Voigtlander (is it a) Heliar 50mm f/1.5 (how can it be if it’s f/1.5 and six elements!), and how to manage a house move with a large camera collection.
