Well the title says it all, except it does not get close! So much to talk about this week as Johnny breaks a camera, Perry is exposed as an eBay noob, and Simon attempts to load a simple load camera, live on the podcast -- what could go wrong? Also in the show, Simon is caught saying something nice about using a rangefinder, we have sympathy for for Lucas Frazee's tragic lens with a great body, and Graeme Jago from the Sunny 16 Podcast is a bad person.

This week we catch up with listeners letters and we announce how listeners will get the chance to win Perry’s #cheaplenschallenge Konica 40mm f/1.8. Plus, weird Topcons, perspective (yes again) and how this discussion affects Hamish Gill’s sanity, and oh, we’re briefly joined by a Super Special Guest.

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.
