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.

This week we make a departure into the world of classic lenses for cinema. We are joined by W.S (Bill) Pivetta a cinematographer and sound engineer with a love/obsession with old lenses. Bill mainly shoots on digital film making equipment and loves to hunt down old lenses to adapt them for movie making. Once Bill has bought a lens, it stays with Bill, and his collection is quite astonishing. Loads of subject matter is covered so go and get some popcorn and have a listen.

Perry's back from his punishment break to Okinawa with the biggest international news story from Hong Kong. If that's not enough, he's got GAS real bad and it's contagious... Plus the usual discussions about Petri lenses, clip on viewfinders, the death of Spectra film, Kodak Medalist, Olympus XA, Contax T, Developing Kodachrome, Fuji X-100, Ricoh GR, and lenses galore!

Banished to Okinawa for treating Graeme Jago badly last week, Perry retaliates with a list of demands about how this week’s show is conducted. The tight editorial constraints see Johnny and Simon resort to a plethora of listeners emails as well as talk about rat photography, don’t put that Aero Ektar too close to me, changing the recording slot to allow for whiskey, and Ooftah is the word.

Graeme Jago of the Sunny16 Podcast joins the guys to read some Haiku and pick a winner for the Konica lens giveaway. True to form, Mr. Jago can’t resist causing a bit of chaos and picks a fight with Perry about street photography. Perry has a proper rant, then proceeds with counting Haiku syllables like a card shark in Vegas. Graeme also brings a bag of interesting lenses to discuss. Johnny does his best to avoid the Haiku fiasco altogether and Simon does his best to keep this hairy monster of a podcast on track. Spoiler alert: someone wins a lens!
