The dust has only just settled from the fallout from last week’s show, as we had a record number of comments made about it in our small but perfectly formed Facebook group. Calm has now been restored with some serial number serendipity and Perry’s new acquisitions, one of which uses similar letters to a lens that Simon loves. Also, how to photograph a pimp whilst maintaining his annonyminity. All in all, plenty of Rodenstock and Schneider-Kreuznach lens action along with the classic lens powerhouse camera, the Agfa ePhoto 780.

Anil Mistry makes a very welcome return to CLP Towers this week and there’s not a Leica or RF lens in sight, much to the relief to those aspiring street photographers that don’t dig rangefinders. Anil presides over a Fuji vs. Sony fight in which three of the four people on the podcast think that Fuji being a camera company automatically means he should buy a Fuji over a Sony. All this nonsense and loads of lens talk, Japanese Helios, the joy of (digital) printing, and an inexplicable decent into hip-hop.

Johnny’s back and he’s got a new toy, Perry has moved on from shooting riots to shooting the Zombie Apocalypse that is Coronavirus Hong Kong, and Simon is utterly confused as to whether familiarity with equipment is the road to photography enlightenment or whether it’s just great gear or both and neither. Also this show we get through a backlog of great emails from listeners.
