A round-up on some the things that we've been up to lately. Simon had a table at the UK's largest camera fair, Photographica 2019 in London, and went mad for Tessars. Johnny traded his Nikon S2 for some magic blue beans in the shape of a Bessa R. Lots of lens talk as usual, listener questions, and we don't manage to answer why Johnny prefers a Kiev to a Nikon S2 and Simon prefers a FED S to a Leica II. Don't forget: Ko-fi donations to the podcast in May will go to the Down Syndrome Association of Central Florida.

Host of the Classic Lenses Podcast, Creator of the Photography With Classic Lenses Facebook group, Professor and Program Director at the University of Florida, husband to Pam and father to Andy, has died.
Karl had suffered from a heart condition for which he took medication and unfortunately for us all, his heart gave up suddenly on Friday. It saddens us greatly to share this news here.
Karl was a guest recently on the Sunny 16 Podcast, and our friends Ade, Rachel, and Graeme have graciously allowed us to share that episode here with you in tribute to our friend Karl.
Beneath Karl's relaxed manner was a man of passion; a passion for his abstract art, a passion for ecology a passion for photography, a passion for his friends and a passion for his family.
To honor Karl's memory, the Havens family would be very grateful if people would support the Down Syndrome Association of Central Florida (DSACF).
Thank you for keeping Karl and his family in your thoughts.

Just when Karl, Johnny, and Simon started to think they knew about lenses, Jason Lane comes along and makes them realize how little they actually know. Why does a Petzval swirl? Why do new high resolution lenses have a gazillion elements? Why is field of view is more important than focal length to a designer? These, and many more questions, are answered in this highly technical episode. Plus, the latest news on glass plate photography!

This week on The Real CFNSLSP: the first confirmed kill in the War to Destroy All Podcasts. Simon's PC dies, Karl's router dies, Johnny goes full idiot (as usual), and EM's evil plan comes to fruition...

This week, we present the final episode of the Classic Lenses Podcast. Our guest is The Man, The Myth, The Legend, from Fort Dodge, Iowa, USA: Mike Novak. We talk Twin Lens Reflex cameras, classic lenses, garden gnomes, Nickon/Naikon cameras, and how to photograph the perfect #NovakianLunch. An unexpected guest from a remote volcanic island stops by to join the chat as well. (Note: Karl is still MIA somewhere in the swamps of Florida...)

MANIFESTO
The Classic Film Negatives Sunny Lensless Studio Podcast
Dear listeners,
Film photography podcasts have exploded in number and we, the undisputed, established names in this niche have decided it is time to take action. The collective burden of generating fresh, creative content week-on-week in order to satiate the community lust for "all things analog" is not sustainable. We are putting our hands up to say yes, we have occasionally scraped the bottom of the barrel for content and should, no, must be better (getting EM and Hamish on should be red flags to you all by now).
In March 2019 we our leadership came together to debate how we could collaborate in the interests of our listenership and the wider film and analog photography community. After heated deliberation, we settled on a single and universally effective solution:
We should create a monopoly.
Starting April 2019, our individual podcasts will be merging into a single community mammoth: The Classic Film Negatives Sunny Lensless Studio Podcast (CFNSLSP). A single podcast with over a dozen hosts and a new episode nearly every single day of the week will be providing you with:
Camera reviews, classic lens reviews, industry insight, chatter, interviews and competitions ...to name a few. Understanding that photography is not everything, we will also have special focus events covering adult beverages, classic timepieces and lifestyle tips.
No longer will you need to create playlists for your analogue photography podcast needs. A single voice will be able to provide you with all you need to, or in fact, should know. In the words of Russell Nash, "there can be only one".
We would like to take this opportunity to thank our loyal listeners for their patronage and hope to see you join the CFNSLSP family.
Sincerely,
The CFNSLSP Member Podcasts

This week, Johnny and Simon are joined by Nick Lyle, one half of the Homemade Camera Podcast. Nick, when he's not being a blacksmith and an artist, likes to make Frankencameras out of trashed camera parts so he knows a thing or two about adapting lenses where they don't normally belong.
Plus find out how to make a stitched super high resolution image using a medium format lens without moving the lens...

After last week's disaster, we take some time out to catch up with the classic lens related things we've been getting up to recently, so as usual, many topics are covered. Johnny is forced to justify (again) why the Canon 50mm f/1.8 LTM is a "Budget" lens, a listeners email leads to a conversation about how different lenses work on different sensors, and Simon has his drink spiked shortly before being interviewed at The Photography Show by the Sunny 16 Podcast.

Just like the song Tribute by Tenacious D, what you are about to hear is the greatest podcast ever. Tribute. Despite trying to blame Ethan Moses, Simon screwed up royally this week and the entire budget lens spectacular episode was even more incomprehensible than usual. Not to be put of by losing two hours of the best podcasting ever made, the dynamic trio set about recording it again in half the time and with more attitude...
