Club Night – All About Lenses

Harry assisted by a number of members will discuss lenses including demystifying the jargon e.g. focal length, f/stops, prime lenses, standard lenses,wide angle and zoom lenses.  There will be a little bit of technical stuff and information to help you decide what lens you want for particular purposes and the opportunity to handle different lenses.  This session will be followed by a  second session in early 2018.
