• Club member Bob Downey spoke to us about the photos he made in the 1980s with his Miranda G film camera.

55 years ago, Bob paired his camera with a 135mm, manual focus, fixed aperture lens to produce beautiful images, some of which he showed to those in attendance. He went on to explain the technique and the patience required to achieve those results. The Chatham Camera Club thanks Bob for his entertaining and informative presentation, and we look forward to more in the near future.
