Perry is taking a tough break in Bali, so this week we go back to Karl Haven's favourite coffee, tea & chocolate shop: Volta Coffee, Tea & Chocolate! We chatted with Anthony back in February 2019, and Anthony's collection has not diminished at all. He joins us for a relaxed chat covering some of his latest toys. We also read a few emails from around the world with extra care taken regarding name pronunciations...

All is well again at The Gilded CLP Tower as Johnny's connection problems are resolved and Perry has not been gassed (recently). Simon hands back Jeremy North's wonderful Contax G2 and is immediately loaned something even more special for a forthcoming light painting workshop. Is looking at great work by other photographers, a bad thing? Is all art political? Does Big Mouth Billy Bass drink Malört?

#95 Desert Island Lenses with Cheyenne Morrison
This week Cheyenne Morrison joins us as a returning guest from Down Under. We send him from the lovely island of Australia to a much smaller desert island, washed ashore with three lenses from his collection and one dream lens. Johnny is missing this week, but in the meantime, Simon continues his November purchasing spree, while Perry shoots digital and gets tear gassed again.

So, we tried to make a shorter show this week and ended up making our longest episode. In our defence/defense, we missed a week so we had so much to catch up upon. After a bit of bowel shaming by Simon, we start off by reflecting on on Perry's audio dairy from last week before going full on lens nerdery. Stay tuned for zoom love 'n' hate, Simon gets an Orikkor at last, don't freeze your Ilford film without opening it first, "No GAS November", Yashinon 5cm f2, Fujinon55mm f2.2, and NWA burgers.

We’ve not had the time to read out and discuss listener emails recently, so it’s about time we caught up with them. Well, that was the intention, but Johnny and Perry had other ideas and came over all artistic… Plenty of subjects under discussion, including the Canon LTM 50/1.4, 50mm f2 lenses, focus shift, Taylor Hobson 2” f2 Anastigmat, 75mm Biotar, Robot lenses, and mild disappointment with Perry’s star 35mm purchases mentioned last week.

A diverse, engaging, funny and occasionally dark conversation this week with author and former photojournalist John R. Bruning. John talks about how using classic lenses helped him back to normality. Plus, Perry manages to justify buying two subtlety different 35mm lenses, advice on selling children, and how protest photography can become enthralling. No emails this week, we will cover them next week.

We have new acquisitions, and for once, it’s not Perry bringing all the gems to the party… So we have 75mm f/1.5 Biotar talk, an almost complete Contax G2 system in black, as well as the Grail Lens that Perry wanted to take to his desert island. In addition, we talk about the Auto-Takumar 35/3.5, M-Rokkor 40/2, and gifts from Karl's Brother, Todd Havens.

This week we make a departure into the world of classic lenses for cinema. We are joined by W.S (Bill) Pivetta a cinematographer and sound engineer with a love/obsession with old lenses. Bill mainly shoots on digital film making equipment and loves to hunt down old lenses to adapt them for movie making. Once Bill has bought a lens, it stays with Bill, and his collection is quite astonishing. Loads of subject matter is covered so go and get some popcorn and have a listen.

Perry's back from his punishment break to Okinawa with the biggest international news story from Hong Kong. If that's not enough, he's got GAS real bad and it's contagious... Plus the usual discussions about Petri lenses, clip on viewfinders, the death of Spectra film, Kodak Medalist, Olympus XA, Contax T, Developing Kodachrome, Fuji X-100, Ricoh GR, and lenses galore!
