#145 Screaming Raccoon Podcast
Episode 273
jeudi 19 août 2021 • Duration 01:27:41
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.

Karl manfully deals with Laryngitis and brings with him a modicum of Christmas cheer. Too many subjects to list covered this week, but they include best value classic lens systems, more wormy balls, black cameras and why old Minolta cameras are so often in great condition.
