We're all light!
I thought I had missed that get-in-free envelope, so I'd written off getting into Photo Plus Expo, but an e-mail from Tiffen tonight changed all that, so I'll be checking it out. As has been the case for the last seven years or so, there won't be much for me to see on the camera or lens side, as (1) I have most all I require already, and (2) all anyone wants to talk about are dSLRs anyway (this year: shooting HD video with your dSLRs...no, thanks). Unless someone there shows up with some wide C-V or Zeiss glass adorning a ZI or R4x, I'm not there for the hardware.
At least, not on the "image-capture" end. On the post-shoot side, I'll be harassing people at the HP booth about getting right with 13" format printers again (or at least coming up with a competitor to Epson's 3880). Other than that, I'll be loitering at Kodak's booth for, yes, free film, shameless hussy that I am. Then off to Western Digital for a chat about their hard drives (between myself and my clients, I've procured almost enough WD drives in the last year and a half to become a minor shareholder). Finally, I'll visit the LaCie and NEC booths for a gander at their monitors, even though I'm set for the time being with a pair of large, lightly-used Apple Cinema displays.
But...Fujifilm is strangely MIA on the Exhibitors list. Nowhere on the map. maybe there's a typo? No film? No preview of the X100? Are things that tight over there? You know there would be lines going out the building if they were to show with that little digi-RF. But it looks like this is not to be.
Anybody have some additional dirt on this?
