#103 Ethan's Briefcase Of Lenses
Monday Jan 27, 2020
Monday Jan 27, 2020
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.

#102 Giant Sex Bombs & Pebbledashing
Tuesday Jan 21, 2020
Tuesday Jan 21, 2020
Not content to bring one special lens to the party, Perry brings three absolute stunners with him, while Simon’s back shooting his Sony. We also catch up on Johnny in the darkroom (yes he did say he was done with that), and catch up on the emails we ran out of time to discuss last week. A show packed to the gills with lens talk in an attempt hold on to those listeners we alienated in show #100… So buckle up for some serious Zeiss, Pentax, Petzval, Industar, Taylor Hobson and Olympus action!

#101 Blessed Are The Eyes That See
Monday Jan 13, 2020
Monday Jan 13, 2020
So, after our almost universally acclaimed and made for YouTube extravaganza better known as #100, we’re back on the radio/podcast. 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. We have some excellent emails this week leading to plenty of lens and camera talk, plus we launch our latest lens giveaway. Be warned attempting to win the lens will come at a heavy price…

#100 Jason Lane To Zemax!
Tuesday Jan 07, 2020
Tuesday Jan 07, 2020
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.
