Rather enjoyed the free day.
Some went to the Masterclasses.
I will hope to go on Thursday 17th January.

Thanks, Iggy. I have been for the past few years and applied for a ticket to the trade show. The nearby Paddington Basin is an interesting place to photograph and I took a walk around the area after visiting last year's show. I am not sure yet which of the days I will go, but some people have visited as a group in the past.

Yes Mike,
You did take a walk around the interesting Paddington Basin after visiting last year's show.
I accompanied you on half of that waik!
Might do that walk again, weather permitting.

Hi Iggy

I have just checked and discovered that the convention is at the Novotel in Hammersmith, which is where it used to be held a few years ago. A different area to explore. There might be some shots under the flyover.

Mike,
That's great. I will explore outside the hotel too, weather permitting.
I did enjoy the various free activities at the convention last year.
I guess you might be looking for more old lenses.
Regards,
Iggy

It is not really the place to find them, although CameraWorld might have one or two in its used section. My only purchase at the recent CameraWorld Live event turned out to be a Minolta prime dating from around 45 years ago. Which is quite recent compared to some which I have.
