Episodes

  • 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.

  • 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. We discuss our collective experiences (well Johnny and Simon do...) of Vivitar lenses and pick our favourites and bargain buys.

  • 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...ISABEL CURDES

  • 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.

  • It appears that taking a month off has not helped with the intelligence and lens knowledge of the three hosts. Perry struggles with cleaning marks, Simon struggles with the Minolta Rokkor VFC 24mm f/2.8 and Johnny struggles with the "focus bubble" of the Russar MR-2. If you have any knowledge of the three subject above, beware listening will be painful...

  • 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.

  • We're back and winter lockdown boredom is playing havoc with our minds. What else could explain our desire to talk about early digital point and shoots, DSLRs, and a particular Canon EF lens that causes Johnny to have an almost Indiana-level meltdown? We also catch up on the new Sony 7C, the now extinct Fuji 400H, and the Mamiya Press 100mm f2.8.

We cover an extensive list of topics, including rare Soviet camera, export models, and espionage cameras. Comrade Vlad has many great stories to share again this time, including a few that didn't make it past the censors!

  • 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 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.

The main event being part two of our catch up of listener emails and an official complaint.

  • 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.

  • The much anticipated Frozen Pizza Episode is now here. SPOILER ALERT! Chicago Deep Dish Pizza is garbage (according to Simon). Trans Am Mullet Man Sex In A Fiero Pro Pizza Guy Mike Gutterman brings his expertise to present a balanced pizza episode and weighs in on the debate. Pentax and Leica R lenses are also briefly discussed, along with classic American muscle cars, classic American Lenses, and classic American cassette tape decks.

  • Simon strikes gold with a great haul of interesting lenses, Perry gives up buying cameras and lenses for the rest of 2020, (there are caveats…) and Johnny has been drinking the Rodinal again.

  • 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. Talking of Ethan, he skydives into the show and regales us with Pro stories that are Pro.

  • 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. Will Mike follow is namesake, Mike Novak in annihilating Johnny and Simon?

  • Simon did not get the chance to do an update on his latest gear related activity last week, so he more than makes up for it this week. Pleanty of Mamiya C330, Yashica YF & Yashinon 5cm f/1.8, Pentacon Six & 120mm f/2.8 Biometar, Large Format projection lenses, an EXA to MD adapter that was made in heaven and an equally (not quite) wonderful Kodak Retina Reflex III & Xenon 50mm f/1.9. Oh, and an odd thing that sticks on top of a camera.
