Monday Workshop in NYC -- The Secrets of Optics

[Mitch Gross]

I'm teaching my Secrets of Optics workshop this coming Monday evening, June 10th, in our NYC facility.
---

What is the “Cooke Look” compared to that of Zeiss? How does a prime lens compare to a zoom? What is Bokeh?


Part of choosing a camera is choosing the appropriate glass to put in front of it. This class will teach the many properties of lenses, some of which can be garnered from reading technical specifications and others requiring years of experience and access to the equipment. Now the secret alchemy of optics will be revealed as we work through the various optical characteristics that help define a lens and its uses.

Very interesting. Sounds like a cool little workshop.



Have you read the article about the 'Cooke' look by Jon Maxwell? Interesting write up.

Jon & I emailed extensively as he was developing the ideas presented in that article. I don't agree with all of his points and have a few others, but I do think he presents most of the argument well.
