Don't expect to use our equipment all the time - we are photographers too, and will be using the cameras from time to time to illustrate our instruction.  Other tour members may well also want to use it from time to time.  If you have specific interests (you are about to buy an EOS camera or a particular lens), please let us know.

Also, don't think that we are Canon bigots!  We also have Nikon D70 and other equipment and are familiar with most brands and cameras.  We do recommend you bring your own manual for ease of use of specific functions.

Film buff?  Ask nicely and we'll bring some medium format cameras and film - even a Holga for those interested.

If you wish to test out some particular piece of equipment, please let us know so that we can be sure to incorporate it into the tour.
