• Our old friend Antony Chodas from Camera Canada in London talked about What’s New In Photo Equipment.
Antony reminded Canon shooters that there are now five different lens mounts that fit their DSLR cameras as well as their mirrorless lineup. He also told us what Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Fuji and Godox are up to these days. If you are in the market for new camera equipment, check out CameraCanada.com and use the promo code VIP2022 for a camera club discount.
• This month’s featured photographer in What I Shoot was long-time Club member Mike Blazek. Mike’s show included his impressive photos of skies, macro, antique cars, abstracts and people. Thanks Mike! We loved your presentation.
