Hello Hello 👋

We’ve hit a milestone I never imagined when I sent that first nervous email 100 weeks ago: This is Edition #100 of LensLetter.

Wait—LensLetter? Yep. More on that in a sec.

But first: THANK YOU Reader.

You’ve opened these emails, replied with stories of your own adventures, and trusted me to share tips, tools, and the occasional rant about hard disk failures.

We’re not just a newsletter anymore—we’re friends swapping secrets about travel hacks, camera gear, and how to turn a mediocre sunset into magic.

So, let’s celebrate!

🎁 Your 100th Edition Gift: 10% Off Everything

For the next 96 hours, use LL100 to save 10% on anything in the shop—prints, itineraries, my favorite travel checklists.

📣 The Big News: LensLetter Isn’t Just a Newsletter Anymore

After 100 weeks of writing, I realised this isn’t just a “newsletter.” It’s a hub for wanderers and shutterbugs. So, say hello to

✨LensLetter.com✨

Same weekly emails you love, but now with a dedicated home for archives, exclusive guides, and (drumroll)…

NEW Saturday Editions!

What’s in the Saturday upgrades?

Think less rambling from me, more of what’s shaping the industry:

  • AI travel planners (because who has time to Google “best tacos in Oaxaca” for hours in 2025?)
  • Camera gear drops (spoiler: mirrorless is winning)
  • Editing shortcuts to shave hours off your workflow

First 2 editions go to everyone—then you decide if Saturdays stay in your inbox.
