November Speaker

Elliot Stern

*** Elliot gave a fine presentation in November. As a result he has agreed to to return for several forum presentations in February and March.

Our Speaker for the 2 November Meeting is Elliot Stern who, with over 40 years in the Photo Business, brings a wealth of insights concerning the equipment we use. Through selling the products he became an expert with Arriflex Motion Picture Cameras, Omega Enlargers, Gossen Meters, Linhof Medium format Cameras, as well as cameras and equipment made by Nikon, Fuji, Mamiya, and Sigma, and others. In addition to sales, he has also done shooting and tech work..
He currently works at Ace Photo, in Sterling Va. where he takes care of the digital aspects of the store, teaches classes on digital photography, and also provides private lessons for those who want to increase their abilities and knowledge levels on a one on one basis.
Mr. Stern will be discussing the state of Digital today and the new directions it has taken in relationship to the state of film today and the decline in the film business as we knew it. He will tell us what the “state of the art” products are, and what is coming in regards to cameras, printers, lenses, etc.
Additionally, we queried a sampling of club members to ask if there were specific items about digital photography they wanted included. Those responses were forwarded to Elliot for consideration in his presentation.
This is a meeting you can’t afford to miss if you are either shooting digital now, or think there is a chance that you may want to explore that possibility in the future.
