I hope it's OK for me to plug a new podcast on here?
Along with two committed manual focus lens shooters, we've just launched the Classic Lenses Podcast where we plan to chat about manual focus lenses (as well as modern MF lenses) each week. The podcast has grown out of the Photography With Classic Lenses Facebook Group, which I know many of you here are a members. https://www.facebook.com/groups/classiclenses/
This is our first go at this and we are still finding our feet, I also screwed up royally with my microphone and therefore had to amplify it so much that there's way too much background noise in most of my sections.
I hope those of you that listen to it enjoy it, and I welcome any feedback.

Thank you!
We are still finding our feet at the moment, but I think we are heading in the right direction. It's a bit shocking how facts can leave my brain as soon as I start talking!

"and I struggle to say "Takumar" throughout the recording... "
I spent a decade and more weaning myself off saying 'Tookamarr'. Once it stuck, it was a bugger to shake off. I still have to momentarily think before pronouncing it, and still don't know if it's right. But I have at least the vowels in the right order now. |

I was hoping that a Japanese speaker would help us out on the Tak word... As for Bokeh, I know the correct pronunciation of the word, but it just sounds a bit daft when spoken by an English speaker, so I use an Anglicised version as close as I can make it. Hearing bokeh pronounced the say way as a "bouquet of flowers" annoys the hell out of me!

I've had a Q7 for a couple of years and have tried out literally 3 or 4 dozen C mounts and a few D mounts, so if you would like some info, I've compiled quite a lot.

I have to admit Ian, I don't go out of my way to use C & D mount lenses, but the Q7 is there ready willing and able!
I need to get one of those hood/loupe things for the LCD as just using the back panel is stopping me enjoying that sweet little camera.

I haven't had a problem using the LCD, and I find it really easy to focus, although I mostly use wide angles that don't need a lot of precise focusing.
I've got a document listing all the C&D mounts I've tried with notes on their coverage, quality etc.
In short, almost any of the Fujinon, Cosmicar/Pentax or Computar/Kowa C mounts are great.
