This week, Chris, Jordan, and Jaron tackle the topic of lens breathing and whether or not it is "blown" out of proportion (pun intended). You see, Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki spoke with PetaPixel contributor and former Imaging Resource publisher David Etchells, and Yamaki says that YouTube reviewers might be putting too much emphasis on lens breathing, which could take away development time and emphasis from other important lens manufacturing endeavors. Chris and Jordan obviously have an opinion on that, and they weigh in.

Additionally, the trio talk about the "scam" of printer ink, how Western Digital is now being sued by three groups for the SanDisk SSD fiasco, and Chris and Jordan explain what other lens terms mean so you can be better informed when you listen to their next review.

We use Riverside to record all our episodes in our online recording studio.
