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.

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.

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.

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. If you have any knowledge of the three subject above, beware listening will be painful...

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.
