CAMERA REQUIREMENTS

Camera: This workshop is designed for the use of DSLR, Mirrorless or Four-Thirds Camera Systems – your camera lens will also require a thread to fit filters. Please let us know if you do not have a suitable camera as have a number of Nikon DSLR cameras available.

Filters: This workshop is designed to teach you the use of ND filters. We have enough Benro filters kits for everyone to borrow if you do not have you own ND filters. We have adapter rings to fit these to any camera lens with a thread size from 37-88mm. if you do not already have you own ND filters, we recommend using ours for the workshop and not rushing out to buy some, as too often people buy the wrong types. After the workshop, you will have a better understanding of which filter you may use.
