I'm teaching my Secrets of Optics class at AbelCine LA this Thursday evening. Still some seats available. Haven't brought this one back for some time and don't know when I'll have a chance to teach it again. I try to teach the how & why to understand what is going on in optics and how to look at glass to decide what you might want to buy or rent to get the look you want.
Class basic description:
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.
