So, after a summer break, it’s time again to brush up on your 2nd Grade classical history and moderately-sized furry mammal knowledge as it will be required to get the most out of this episode. Off topic we discuss the Fujinon 55mm f/2.2 and a potential clone, the new Voigtlander (is it a) Heliar 50mm f/1.5 (how can it be if it’s f/1.5 and six elements!), and how to manage a house move with a large camera collection.   LISTEN TO THE PODCAST  Pobean | iTunes | Stitcher TAGS #CLP145 #VoigtlanderHeliar #Raccoonz #Rangefinderz #Fuji55mm #aphantasia SUPPORT THE PODCAST  Donate on Ko-fi  CONTACT Send ideas & questions for the podcast EMAIL LIST Sign-up to receive an email when each podcast goes live INSTAGRAM  BestVintageLens | #classiclenses | #bestvintagelens MERCHANDISE Official Classic Lenses Podcast Swag FOLLOW THE HOSTS  Simon Forster Website | Ebay | Flickr | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LFPP Perry Ge Website | Flickr | Instagram Johnny Sisson Instagram | Central Camera Company | Kodak Bantam Special Looks Like a Pimp BE LIKE KARL Karl Havens  The Karl Havens Excellence Endowment | Flickr | Instagram PODCAST THEME  Octoblues Royalty Free Music by Kevin Macleod Classic Lenses Podcast is (not) Sponsored by Jeppson's Malört The Goatsecx of Liquors  Fuckyoswag Chicago Media Production J.D.

Classic Lenses Podcast Presents: Cocaine & Waffles, The End of the Line (Final Episode)

A slew of Vivitar purchases by Simon is the inspiration for a Vivitar special show where we give something of a potted history of the once great American lens brand. Whilst Vivitar has always been at the value end of the lens market, many of their lenses punched well beyond their weight. We discuss our collective experiences (well Johnny and Simon do...) of Vivitar lenses and pick our favourites and bargain buys.

Classic Lenses Podcast Presents: Cocaine & Waffles, Episode 1

In July, 2019 (Episode #77), we thoroughly enjoyed having the rare talent that is Isabel Curdes on the show, so we are delighted to able to maroon her on our desert island with 4 special lenses and two cameras (one is a big digital camera with a stupid shutter speed dial (if you're Simon and have weird issues with shutter speed dials.)) Isabel's picks are pretty stellar, which is not surprising seeing how many lenses she's gone through over the years. As well as getting to know Isabel's lenses better, we also have a quick chat about the automated mounted slide "scanning" device, the Cameradactyl BoopBoop Trigger and give definitive advice to Graeme Jago in his hunt for a new Cheap Shot Challenge camera...

#143 Isabel Curdes And Her Desert Island Lenses

There's something in the air, it's almost tangible... that's right it's pent up GAS, and we've just released it! Perry finally (and properly) breaks his No Nut November pledge from last October, Simon meets one of his hero lenses, and Johnny has extreme Leica satisfaction. Plenty of lens talk on adapting projection lenses, adapting the Contax G 35mm/2 Planar to Leica M, and some sharp practice by an auction house.   LISTEN TO THE PODCAST  Pobean | iTunes | Stitcher TAGS #CLP142 #LeicaMP #LeicaIIIa #LeicaIII #Voigtlander #35mmUltron #35mmPlanar #85mmPlanar #Contax #GAS SUPPORT THE PODCAST  Donate on Ko-fi  CONTACT Send ideas & questions for the podcast EMAIL LIST Sign-up to receive an email when each podcast goes live INSTAGRAM  BestVintageLens | #classiclenses | #bestvintagelens MERCHANDISE Official Classic Lenses Podcast Swag FOLLOW THE HOSTS  Simon Forster Website | Ebay | Flickr | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LFPP Perry Ge Website | Flickr | Instagram Johnny Sisson Instagram | Central Camera Company | Kodak Bantam Special Looks Like a Pimp BE LIKE KARL Karl Havens  The Karl Havens Excellence Endowment | Flickr | Instagram PODCAST THEME  Octoblues Royalty Free Music by Kevin Macleod Classic Lenses Podcast is (not) Sponsored by Jeppson's Malört The Goatsecx of Liquors  Fuckyoswag Chicago Media Production J.D.

#142 Global GAS

It appears that taking a month off has not helped with the intelligence and lens knowledge of the three hosts. Perry struggles with cleaning marks, Simon struggles with the Minolta Rokkor VFC 24mm f/2.8 and Johnny struggles with the "focus bubble" of the Russar MR-2.

#141 Classic Lenses Land Of Confusion

Anil’s back and he’s brought his Unusual Eye with him. It’s just as well that we had Anil booked as Johnny had a Red Dot course to attend and could not be with us. As well as chatting about Anil’s excellent new photo book, which you can win a copy of it by entering our exciting new completion… This week’s podcast turned into a marathon session as we took the opportunity to (almost) finish off our latest backlog of emails.   LISTEN TO THE PODCAST  Pobean | iTunes | Stitcher Anil MistryTwitter | Instagram | Facebook | City By The Sea   TAGS#CLP140 #AnilMistry #CityByTheSea #UnusualEye SUPPORT THE PODCAST  Donate on Ko-fi  CONTACT Send ideas & questions for the podcast EMAIL LIST Sign-up to receive an email when each podcast goes live INSTAGRAM  BestVintageLens | #classiclenses | #bestvintagelens MERCHANDISEOfficial Classic Lenses Podcast Swag FOLLOW THE HOSTS  Simon Forster Website | Ebay | Flickr | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LFPP Perry GeWebsite | Flickr | Instagram Johnny Sisson Instagram | Central Camera Company | Kodak Bantam Special Looks Like a Pimp BE LIKE KARLKarl Havens The Karl Havens Excellence Endowment | Flickr | Instagram PODCAST THEME  Octoblues Royalty Free Music by Kevin Macleod Classic Lenses Podcast is (not) Sponsored by Jeppson's Malört The Goatsecx of Liquors Fuckyoswag Chicago Media ProductionJ.D.

#140 City By The Sea With Anil Mistry

We're back and winter lockdown boredom is playing havoc with our minds. What else could explain our desire to talk about early digital point and shoots, DSLRs, and a particular Canon EF lens that causes Johnny to have an almost Indiana-level meltdown? We also catch up on the new Sony 7C, the now extinct Fuji 400H, and the Mamiya Press 100mm f2.8.

Vlad Kern returns this week for another deep dive into the photographic world of the Former Soviet Union.

#138 Vlad Kern, Part 2, Approved Version

Following a lengthy discussion on stray Australian marsupials, we dive into a host of more pressing questions this week. Will Perry succumb to Rodenstock GAS? What is Johnny's perfect TLR accessory? Is Simon hoarding Tessars? Plus chat about vintage cameras in Netflix shows, whether gear should be sold for "grail" purchases, and super telephoto lenses for birding.

#137 Super-tele Wallaroo

Just when you thought that we could not keep it up for two weeks on the trot, another show turns up like a bad penny. The week sees us reach the finale of our listener emails trilogy and includes a special section where we hear from supporters of the much maligned Mike "it's all my fault" Gutterman. Having got the obligatory Leica talk out of the way, we cover some great topics including non-vanilla Pentax lenses, why a Nikon DSLR is rarely the answer to anything, and classic lens webcams. ________ LISTEN TO THE PODCAST  Pobean | iTunes | Stitcher  ________ NOTES Takumar Lenses Leica MP Pentax FA Limited Lenses Bokeh Trees ________ TAGS#CLP136 #Pentax #Takumar #LeicaMP #Bokeh ________ SUPPORT THE PODCAST  Donate on Ko-fi  ________ CONTACT Send ideas & questions for the podcast EMAIL LIST Sign-up to receive an email when each podcast goes live INSTAGRAM  BestVintageLens | #classiclenses | #bestvintagelens MERCHANDISEOfficial Classic Lenses Podcast Swag ________ FOLLOW THE HOSTS  Simon Forster Website | Ebay | Flickr | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LFPP Perry GeWebsite | Flickr | Instagram Johnny Sisson Instagram | Central Camera Company | Kodak Bantam Special Looks Like a Pimp ________ BE LIKE KARL Karl Havens The Karl Havens Excellence Endowment | Flickr | Instagram ________ PODCAST THEME  Octoblues Royalty Free Music by Kevin Macleod ________ Classic Lenses Podcast is (not) Sponsored by Jeppson's Malört The Goatsecx of Liquors Fuckyoswag Chicago Media ProductionJ.D.

#135 il Buono il Brutto il Gutterman

Well we’ve had a three week break and it’s done us the world of good. We’re more relaxed and less opinionated than ever. A mountain of quality emails helps us to gently ease ourselves back into the swing of things with topics including Speed Panchros, Summarits, fake sharpness, a zoom lens, Jeremy North on the Mamiya C330 and other things. On another note, if you’re a thin-skinned Missourian, Hoosier, Wisconsinite or French, you may want to skip this week’s show.________ LISTEN TO THE PODCAST  Pobean | iTunes | Stitcher ________ NOTESBeauty Camera CompanyHere's why you'll never find Chinese takeout boxes in ChinaFrito PieRivals on all borders of Badger StateYou Know You're From Michigan When...KladianaMissouri: The Show Me StateWisconsin: Racist by DefaultFrench people________TAGS#CLP134 #Biokar #BeautyCameraCo #FritoPie #ChopSuey #Klandiana #Cheeseheads #Frogs________SUPPORT THE PODCAST  Donate on Ko-fi  ________ CONTACT Send ideas & questions for the podcast EMAIL LIST Sign-up to receive an email when each podcast goes live INSTAGRAM  BestVintageLens | #classiclenses | #bestvintagelensMERCHANDISEOfficial Classic Lenses Podcast Swag________ FOLLOW THE HOSTS  Simon Forster Website | Ebay | Flickr | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LFPPPerry GeWebsite | Flickr | InstagramJohnny Sisson Instagram | Central Camera Company | Kodak Bantam Special Looks Like a Pimp________ BE LIKE KARLKarl Havens The Karl Havens Excellence Endowment | Flickr | Instagram________ PODCAST THEME  Octoblues Royalty Free Music by Kevin Macleod________ Classic Lenses Podcast is (not) Sponsored by Jeppson's Malört The Goatsecx of Liquors Fuckyoswag Chicago Media ProductionJ.D.
