So, after a summer break, it’s time again to brush up on your 2nd Grade classical history and moderately-sized furry mammal knowledge as it will be required to get the most out of this episode. Off topic we discuss the Fujinon 55mm f/2.2 and a potential clone, the new Voigtlander (is it a) Heliar 50mm f/1.5 (how can it be if it’s f/1.5 and six elements!), and how to manage a house move with a large camera collection.

A slew of Vivitar purchases by Simon is the inspiration for a Vivitar special show where we give something of a potted history of the once great American lens brand. Whilst Vivitar has always been at the value end of the lens market, many of their lenses punched well beyond their weight. We discuss our collective experiences (well Johnny and Simon do...) of Vivitar lenses and pick our favourites and bargain buys.
