EQUIPMENT
You will need to bring your own camera and macro lens to this course. We recommend dSLR or mirrorless type cameras, but the most important factor is that your lens is capable of true "close-up" focusing. A 100mm macro lens would be perfect. That said, any macro lens will do and you may want to take this course before buying any new equipment.
LOCATION
Viewfinder Center (Photo Studio), Dachslerenstrasse 10, 8702 Zollikon.
