About the Lens Summit
Koerner Camera hosted the first annual Pacific Northwest Lens Summit in 2017 at its Portland, Oregon facility. The event was the incarnation of an idea: what if there was a smaller, more focused event just for cinema optics, without the often overwhelming nature of a larger tradeshow? To fill that need, the PNW Lens Summit was born.
Lens Summit attendees have access to:
-
Hands on experience with the latest cinema lenses and optical accessories from the biggest brands in the industry
-
In person interactions with some of the foremost cine optics experts in the world
-
Workshops & presentations hosted by our vendors
-
Customized training for lens technicians
-
Food truck on site, free drinks & more!
Virtual Lens Summit
With the in-person Pacific Northwest Lens Summit cancelled in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Koerner Camera decided to keep the summit alive via livestream discussions with various companies and experts in the cinema optics industry. Check out some of these great discussions below.
