We will have to bribe John with beer to find out what is Cristian's secret. When we have John good and drunk we will get the truth. LOL.

I will drop in Sunday to say hi but probably can't stay too long as I will leave the next day for my roadtrip!

Looking forward to this Sunday's meet up. I have been swamped at work lately. Can help John with some beer.

Dave,
I'll be wearing my big watch (Panerai GMT 8 day). Tung is also a watch guy BTW.
At the last meet-up Tung brought his 0.95 Noctilux, and I had the oportunity to mount it on my M6 equipt with TA Rapidwinder and TA Rapidgrip. What a comfortable rig, but it was like carrying half a bowling ball. LOL. Definately a deadly weapon.

If anyone can bring the CV Nokton 1.1 to the meet-up, I'd appreciate it.

John, I got rid of my Nokton right after the queens trip we did... traded it for another 50... just a tad late for mine..

Yes, I think I've tried John Chee's Nokton 2-3 times already. I was hoping to give him a break from bringing it. It's no big deal... I keep thinking about the lens, but never buy it. Perhaps I'll just get it over with soon.

See you all tomorrow, I'm back from my upstate adventure.

Apologies, ladies and gentlemen. Won't be able to make it tomorrow. Wife has informed me we have an obligation with friends in Flushing at the dragon boat races in the morning, and I don't think I'll be able to make it over by the afternoon.

Wow, a crazy meet-up... some of us were there from 12:00 until 6 or so. I didn't get waterboarded, but I did get stewed to the gills.

John is a happy drunk. I had a great time.
Fidel's street rig (0.72 M6, 28 Elmarit ASPH and Leica 28 VF'er) gassed me badly. A 28mm Leica VF'er is a must have, even though my M6 has 28 framelines.

I was able to escape without envying anyone's gear this time. I did like Andre's big-ass 90mm though.
