  • Focus on Imaging 2012 at the Birmingham NEC

    Here is a summary or excerpt from an article that has just been published on DPNow:

    It's the time of year for the UK's largest photo industry shindig, Focus on Imaging 2012 at the Birmingham National Exhibition Centre (NEC). DPNow's editor, Ian Burley, will be compiling a video report on the first day of the show this Sunday. And later in the week he will be a guest speaker, too.

    Re: Focus on Imaging 2012 at the Birmingham NEC

    Since I don't think I can get any time off next week (short staffed) I'm thinking of coming up on the Sunday so may wave at your video at some point.

    Not in the market for any more camera gear at the moment (unless I see a 24-70 f2.8 at an amazing price) as I've just splashed out on ebay: a package of 7D plus f2.8 70-200mm L lens - and the credit card bill has arrived today .

    More going to be looking at the seminars/studio equipment this time round... Still trying to decide whether to go up on Saturday afternoon so I can get there for that talk at 10.30!

    Anyone else going to be about?

            Pretty sure it's free to get in anyway

            We're having a panel debate on the Olympus stand at 1PM on Tuesday if you are interested Barr1e?

            And anyone else here - if you are, let me know!

                  Ooh freebies, how pleasing - I hope lunch was too.

                  Is your harness going to be attached to a parachute?

                  How busy was the show please?

                  Regards. Barr1e

                        Thanks for the clarification - I don't have to pay of course but I had heard from some friends in previous years who hadn't needed to pay.

                          There was no entry fee when I used to go. When the show started it was for pros only, you had to prove you were a pro and you got your ticket in the post.

                          But I haven't gone since the mid 90's.

                            I didn't think I quite qualified as a pro, though looking at some of the so-called pros yesterday from now on I will... think pros still don't have to pay.
