Yes, come... its generally a fun time.
will try to get there with canon fd gears.
I'll be there till 3 then I'm not sure what we're doing.
I'm always mere minutes from making one of these get togethers.
I'm going to be staying in Jersey City from the 17th into the first week of January. I'll be in Manhattan every day to bunny sit a friend's rabbits on the upper west side.
On the 18th I'm volunteering right during your meeting time at the Metropolitan Pavilion on 18th St. near 6th Ave. I'll be there till 3 then I'm not sure what we're doing.
As I can't make it on Sunday, I'd enjoy meeting up with fellow RFF'ers for lunch or a sip of good poison.

I'll bring the M4, for sure.
The incident wasn't in a vehicle though. I was a Seabee and they don't allow us in military armor, we have to make due with construction equipment.
It's in remarkably good shape though, I warn you. That chrome really holds up well and Sherry K banged out a dent in the top plate after I got back to the states. Now there are just a few tool marks on it.

One day you have a minty rig and then a monent later you have a user. Oh-well.
Only cosmetic damage, nicks, scraps and scuffs. Now I feel that my new rig is broken in and that I don't have to baby it anymore. LOL. Now let's see if I can wear out a Leica.
Cal - sorry to hear that! Are you okay? cosmetic damage is absolutely fine, you have a story to tell in the beauty contest instead. That counts as inner beauty.

This Sunday... let's make it a big meet-up! Anyone have a 50mm Elmar-M (black one) they can bring?
I've always wanted one for awhile, but it may not be practical based on my other lenses. I'd love to see one in person.
This Sunday... let's make it a big meet-up! Anyone have a 50mm Elmar-M (black one) they can bring?
Cal is right, I have the last version of the Elmar-M 50. I sold a Summicron 50 because I felt it was pretty close to the Summilux 50. The Elmar is its own creature, and it is great. Collapses nicely in the M9. And Cal is also right about the focus, you can really move from min to max with a short twist. I use it all the time.
I don't think I can make it this Sunday to the meetup, though. I would really like to make it to the Jan meetup. (May I preemptively suggest Jan 15 for that date?)
Oh man, I was excited for a minute... thinking I'd get to handle the elmar.
January 15 sounds fine to me.
Back in 2003 I had an opportunity to buy an F3P with MD4 for only $80. It all worked too! The camera was beat to $#!t though and I thought it was worthless. About 60% brassed with a few dents. Well-loved camera for sure. Anyway, I already had an F3HP at the time and an F4 (plus I knew I was about to deploy and didn't want to store even more gear) so I bought the 20mm f/3.5 AIS off of it for $15 and didn't look back. Now I kick myself all the time...
I don't have anything rare to show off but I will bring my homemade 4x5SW point & shoot. It's an UGLY duckling but makes a nice giant negative that conveniently matches the FOV of my 21mm Zeiss finder.
Man, I guess I'm not packing light on this trip!
