Season 4 Episode 1 - The Golden Hour. Bringing It All Back Home returns! 

This first episode of Season 4 takes a look at one of the all-time basics: working with some of the best Kodak color film to explore the best of golden hour light. On this episode the inspiration begins with the fine vibes and beautiful photography that is the work of bonzenschneider.

Season 3 Episode 25 - R You Experienced? Bringing It All Back Home comes to a season finale with an unexpected swerve towards the  land of Leica R - Leica R3 & the Summicron-R 50mm F/2 . Come onboard as the depths of Leica reality distortion are plunged into once again: near-miss eBay bids for items way beyond budget; the magic designs of Walter Sandler; why SLRs are just as cool (if not more) than rangefinders. And why betting on an over-engineered electronic wonder from the 70s is an idiotic risk too tempting to pass up.

To Summicron Or Not To Summicron

To Summicron Or Not To Summicron - That is the question. Bringing It All Back Home is back for another Season 3 summer episode — and this one is all about two exceptional Leica m-mount 50mm lenses. On this episode we’ll be exploring the build quality, ergonomics, results — and wow factor — of the Voigtlander APO LANTHAR f/2, as well as the Leica Summicron-M 50mm f/2 type 5 V. And a recurring theme — unavoidable, really — is how much are these dream upgrades going to cost? So tune in, grab a cup of tea, and join the improbable reality distortion field that unfolds with rented Leica glass.
