#57 When Fungus Attacks with Lyndon Booth

This week Lyndon of Londinium Cameras joins us to talk about classic lens repairs, none of that autofocus rubbish here! Lyndon gives out lots of advice which largely translates into don't try this at home, get an expert to do it instead. If that's not put you off, take a listen to Lyndon taking about stuck apertures, seized helicoids and the F word...

Top mint bantz, lads Like 1 .


I really enjoyed that. Some myths busted, others put into context, and some good tips thrown in.


Marks off for not letting Lyndon tell his "radioactive" story though. Waited all interview for that so I did.

#58 The Hong Kong Scene With Perry Ge
March 4th, 2019

Karl is "working" again this week, but fear not, Simon & Johnny are joined by Hong Kong classic lens photographer, Perry Ge. Get the lowdown on lens dealers that don't want to sell you anything and offer advice instead. A hugely varied podcast this week with discussions covering Dallmeyer, Frankenstax, Hasselblad Xpan, Fan Ho and snoring on a podcast...

^Might have to give that one a *Top Mint +*. Is there any chance you can make Perry Ge your Hong Kong correspondent? He has the gift of the gab, and being able to give overviews of 'the scene' always requires a considerable knowledge to fall back on.


Cheers Like 1 I enjoyed that.

A really interesting podcast fellas - thank you once again.
I think that we can all relate to Perry's question about what makes us choose one lens over another and the consensus that you all arrived at - the shooting experience is every bit as important as the result.
The joy of photography resides not just in the outcome but in the journey as well.
Hong Kong sounds like a mecca for shooters using classic lenses - must go there one day Smile
Thanks again
Tom

#59 When Podcasts Go Bad And Budget Lenses Are Good

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...

Podcast #58 w/ Perry Ge hit home for me and definitely one of the best Classiclens podcasts!

Keep doing what you are doing

Can you guys post the list of budget lens you recommend per focal length from the recent podcast.

Agreed. Perry should be a regular.

And Simon, maybe consider getting a Podcasting recorder that has a realtime levels meter and an SD card backup? No more lost podcasts.

The RODECaster Pro is getting great reviews. Records internally to an SD card and / or outputs to a computer at the same time. Also supports cell-phone call ins and Skype without the need for a computer.

I'm sure Perry will return!

Olinask, I took a look at the Rodecaster Pro, and we are a long way off being pro enough to afford one! We are going to double up on the recording so if my recording fails then Johnny should have a backup.

#60 Catching Up

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.

Good luck with the new camera Karl. You mentioned Astia, so here's a custom setting you could play with -

Planar design lens.
Astia

Highlights +1
Shadows +1
Colour -2
Everything else 0


It's all subjective, and may not be your cup of tea, but it's fun to try them, no?


[Remember not to use a 50 though, as they are all the same no matter what you do. Johnny says, and personally I believe him as he's famous. I stick on a 58/2 Biotar. Don't tell Johnny.]


Cheers.

Oops! I forgot to post this week's show...



We have had to change the way we do links, so without rewriting the notes completely, I'm now posting a link to the podcast itself on our site and the lonks and notes can be found there from now on.

#01 Classic Film Negatives Sunny Lensless Studio Podcast (CFNSLSP)

This week, we present the final episode of the Classic Lenses Podcast, and celebrate the launch of Classic Film Negatives Sunny Lensless Studio 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, gyros/doner kebab, 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...)

Follow Classic Film Negatives Sunny Lensless Studio Podcast on Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/CFNSLSP/

The CFNSLSP website will be launching soon. In the meantime, visit the Classic Lenses Podcast website to listen to previous episodes:

https://www.classiclensespodcast.com

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

I used to enjoy listening to this, but I see there hasn't been a new episode for ages. Have I missed something, or have they stopped making new episodes now?

They just ran out of air. Most of their podcasts had turned into shooting with classic rangefinders anyhow. They tried again with a Vivitar episode but that was pretty lackluster.

Indeed. They used to fuel my GAS with each episode, but lately it all turned into sort of family chit-chat Smile

Simon, is there a way to search your classiclensespodcast site for specific lenses being discussed at one time or another?
Cheers, Smile
