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.

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.

A short catch up this week along with a superficial comparison between the Pentax 50mm f/1.2 and the Konica 57mm f/1.2. The main event being part two of our catch up of listener emails and an official complaint. We become uplifted by La Résistance, delve into the Borg psyche of the Classic Lenses Podcast hosts and then there's the 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.

The much anticipated Frozen Pizza Episode is now here. SPOILER ALERT! Chicago Deep Dish Pizza is garbage (according to Simon). Trans Am Mullet Man Sex In A Fiero Pro Pizza Guy Mike Gutterman brings his expertise to present a balanced pizza episode and weighs in on the debate. Pentax and Leica R lenses are also briefly discussed, along with classic American muscle cars, classic American Lenses, and classic American cassette tape decks.

Simon strikes gold with a great haul of interesting lenses, Perry gives up buying cameras and lenses for the rest of 2020, (there are caveats…) and Johnny has been drinking the Rodinal again. Johnny’s questionable habits may explain why he has no idea who is sending him film or a 6x12 camera in the mail.

Just when Simon thought that Johnny and Perry would be done talking about rangefinders after last week’s great show with Dan Tamarkin, he was proven to be wrong. Simon was also wrong about the Mongoose by Ethan “Cameradactyl” Moses, which already met its funding target after just one day. Talking of Ethan, he skydives into the show and regales us with Pro stories that are Pro.

Johnny and Perry's wildest dreams comes true! We are joined by none other than Dan Tamarkin of Tamarkin Camera in Chicago, America's Premiere Leica Specialist. We take a deep-dive into rangefinder photography and all things Leica. Dan is an amazing conversationalist and storyteller, and even Simon manages to enjoy this complete immersion into the fascinating world of the Red Dot!

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.
