We also have the sample books of papers from Fotospeed and Permajet which we can bring along to meetings or loan out. Please contact Andy or Rowena via the club.
Lenses for Hire are based in Maidenhead and have a huge variety of lenses and equipment available to hire at reasonable rates. Its a great way to access professional quality equipment you might not otherwise be able to afford to buy. In fact you can arrange to pick up and drop off locally to save on delivery.

A very handy tool for working out the moon or sun position for any given location, time and date is The Photographer’s Ephemeris which works in your web browser and is also available as an app for your smart phone.
