Through ZEISS Glass: Explore Legendary Optics + Walk SoHo's Streets

Friday, November 21st, 3:30 PM - 5:30 PM | Camera West SoHo

This intimate experience (limited to 16 photographers) is your opportunity to explore legendary glass in its natural habitat—the vibrant, textured urban landscape of SoHo. Whether your a Leica, Sony, Fujifilm, Nikon, or Canon, user you'll experience how precision optics transform the way you see and capture the city.

About the Experience:

For two hours, you'll walk alongside Kenneth Hines Jr., ZEISS Ambassador and visual storyteller whose work has appeared in Brides, Professional Photographer Magazine, and across Adobe's platforms. As an Adobe MAX speaker and instructor partnering with ZEISS, Sony, and Google, Kenneth brings both technical mastery and creative vision to street photography.

Based between Atlanta and NYC, Kenneth knows how to read light in urban environments, find moments in the chaos, and get the most from precision optics. This isn't a lecture—it's an active exploration of how different focal lengths, rendering characteristics, and optical quality affect your vision and your images.

What's Included ($50 Registration):

• Intimate photo walk experience through SoHo's iconic streets with Kenneth "Professor" Hines Jr., ZEISS Ambassador
• Borrow and test ZEISS optics during the walk—experience different focal lengths and rendering in a real-world setting.
• Exclusive pricing on ZEISS optics (available only to photo walk participants)
• Complimentary ZEISS optics cleaning kit

Why This Matters:

At Camera West, we believe photography is about the joy of well-crafted tools and the stories they help you tell. ZEISS represents uncompromising quality, tactile satisfaction, and glass that inspires you to photography more, see better, and grow as a photographer.

This event is for photographers who appreciate the journey as much as the destination.
