Robert,
I never thought I was interesting. LOL. Perhaps only funny looking. LOL.
My gal was not very interested in my cameras, but now she loves my Leica SL. LOL.

However bashing Fuji cameras is very much appreciated.
I'll be very happy to continue using my lesser equipment to do actual photography. 😉 Anyone who bashes Fuji, has no taste by the way.
Lol. There he is! The great savior of all things Fuji:bang:

Bring anything you want. Some of us Don't even have Leica's (or have any interest in them). I didn't have an RF camera for a long time and still made it to the meetup. Plus it's always interesting to see new gear and not the same old boring Leica stuff. There are no rules. However bashing Fuji cameras is very much appreciated.
Raj,
Don't forget Visoflex (I'll be bringing my chrome 65 Elmar that utilizes a triple stacking of Leica adapters) and yesterday I secured a Novaflex LEM/NIK Leica M to Nikon F adapter. The 58/1.2 Noct-Nikkor is a marvel on the SL and I figured out how to use the F1.2 Notilux profile with the Noct-Nikkor.
One of the rare lenses I'll bring out is my silver 43/1.9 Pentax-L, the only LTM lens that Pentax ever made. The silver version is one of 800 lenses ever made. To annoy people I'll bring it "boxed" along with the external VF'er that is pretty remarkable. It has framelines for 43mm and 50mm, but also the entire frame serves well for 35mm framing. It also has that Zeiss like contrast (yellow filter) built in and a wonderful diopter.
I'm sure Chistian will bring his A7 and stack of adapters. It does seem the SL loves SLR glass to exploit close focusing and shallow DOF.

I'm kinda glad I'm 1,000 miles away. Handling all those wonderful lenses would do me no good at all. Enjoy your fest!

This event will get me to download the "Leica Shuttle" app onto my Mac Book Pro. Then I should be able to tether the SL to my laptop so we can actually critically review the performance of each lens.
I may have to drink twice as much....
My point, Cal, is that this meet-up sounds like my nightmare (but I'll behave). A pixel-peeping and minutiae festival. 😉
Dont worry John, If I make it, me and you will drink and avoid the whole thing...
We better have room in that place if you're setting up a laptop for tethered capture. I really miss Puckfair. The new place just sucks
