Mike Eckman makes an overdue reappearance and we catch up on some of the things he’s been up to recently with his classic camera review website, www.mikeeckman.com. It turns out that Mike has been writing articles about cameras with bad names, and if taking about cameras such as the Trumpfreflex is not enough, Mike accepts the challenge to take part in the second Classic Lenses Podcast Pub Quiz. Will Mike follow is namesake, Mike Novak in annihilating Johnny and Simon?

Simon did not get the chance to do an update on his latest gear related activity last week, so he more than makes up for it this week. Pleanty of Mamiya C330, Yashica YF & Yashinon 5cm f/1.8, Pentacon Six & 120mm f/2.8 Biometar, Large Format projection lenses, an EXA to MD adapter that was made in heaven and an equally (not quite) wonderful Kodak Retina Reflex III & Xenon 50mm f/1.9. Oh, and an odd thing that sticks on top of a camera.

Version 1: After two weeks of having guests on the show, Perry is bursting at the seams to tell us what he’s acquired. Although we finally get a show devoid of mathematics (that’s why it’s called maths and not math), however we can’t leave TLRs completely alone as we discuss the intricacies of square format photography. All this and quite a but of love for Schneider and a few DKL lenses, but no love for Kodak Retina camera bodies. Finally, don’t do an internet search for that phrase you will hear, you have been warned…
Version 2: Perry brings his Goatsecx wrecking ball to episode 127 (yes, it’s so bad we can’t use the word or our podcast RSS will get flagged as p*rn. You have been double warned!) A scattershot of topics, everything from Retina DKL to Takumars, the merits and challenges of square format composition, and we even squeeze in a couple of listener emails (we didn’t think it would all fit.) A math-free (why add an extra 'S' if you're abbreviating?) episode with just a hint of Euclidean geometry. All this and more from the photography podcast that is “much bigger than other podcasts”...

UK camera and lens repair guy, Lyndon Booth of Londinium Cameras dropped in for a chat and to answer listener emails. We had a great time with Lyndon on his first appearance back in February 2019 and his latest visit does not disappoint either. As you may expect, there’s talk of early Britons, (possibly relatives of Lyndon), Einstein, and camera bugs (the living kind that go out on family trips).

Regular listeners will recognis(z)e the name Mike Epstein as he's a friend of Perry's and also starred in a video we have on our YouTube channel. Mike and Perry give each other a lot of GAS and this partially explains Mike's vast camera and lens collection. We also hear about Mike's home made kaleidoscope filter that has a hole where one might expect to see beads.
