This week, Simon watches the new promotional video for the Hasselblad CFV II digital back for Hasselblad V Series cameras and decides to make something of a chimera out of his Sony and 500 C/M... We finally catch up on a few emails from Robbie Jamieson, Chris Holland and a correctly pronounced Ian Barnaby Nutt and finally do their emails some justice. As usual we can't get through a show without talking about panorama cameras and Perry's Xpan, and Perry gives tips on what he describes as budget lenses.

This week Per Edman, a full time wiseguy of the Minolta Mafia, returns with a big little camera – a Fuji GFX 50R. Is it a large format camera as some Fuji marketing says, or is it not even medium format? Opinions are expressed and they may well be disagreed with... So is it worth mounting 35mm SLR lenses on the little behemoth? This question is answered and we also find out the sad truth why Per is so passionate about Minolta gear...

This week, Perry finds himself in the middle of a 1 million person strong protest demonstration, so he naturally grabs his Konica Hexar + Zeiss ZM Biogon & Hasselblad Xpan. Following on from a chat about Perry's undoubtedly worthy photos, the conversation naturally turns to flower and bokeh photography. Plus, news from Fujifilm, and find out why Simon felt guilty about shooting poppies with a Cyclop 100mm f/2? Perry and Johnny are still scratching their heads on that one...
