This week we have two presentations by Club Member, Tim Goldsmith

"AN INTRODUCTION TO USING VINTAGE LENSES ON DIGITAL CAMERAS”
&
“A HISTORY OF 3D PHOTOGRAPHY"

Starting out as a studio assistant, Tim has spent much of his life connected to photography in one way or another. This evening he will be sharing his thoughts and knowledge on using vintage lenses with modern digital cameras.

This will be followed with a session on 3D photography, which will include how to take 3D pictures.

The images below include an image taken by Tim on the lens as shown - a 90mm f2.8 Kilfitt Makro-Kilar - launched in the mid-1950s it was in production through to the late 1970s

The bottom right image shows an RBT 3D X2 Stereo Camera
- made by a German company (RBT-Raumbildtechnik) and based on two Ricoh SLRS fitted with matched and coupled lenses.

Should be an extremely interesting evening!
