I'm in the US...

[Roberto]

Hi guys,
I'm here.. I landed at the O'Hare on Friday night, and I now I'm at work..

The Bessa R ordered from Stephen Gandy was already at the hotel waiting for me! 😀 what a beautiful camera the Bessa is.. how nice and seamless to use!

I already had a trip downtown Chicago shooting some pic, but I forgot the address of that camera shop many of you suggested me to visit..

So, luckily I'll be there once more..

So.. anyone wants to have a coffee and discuss a bit about photography and cameras? 😀

Let me know..

Cheers,
Rob.

Welcome to the US, Roberto. Rff member Don Sorsa has a show at the "Handlebar" -- are you planning to check it out? Between you and Don you might be able to find a Guinness somewhere in Chicago😀 😀 😀

Oh Oh -- I'm on battery and just got the "low" signal!:bang:

Cheers,

D2

Good planning Roberto, glad to hear you had a good first meeting with little Bessa.

Roberto, the address and camera store name is Central Camera, and it's on 230 S. Wabash Street, near the corner of Adams and Wabash. You can look for either Erwin Cupil or Jon... although virtually anybody will be nice and helpful with you.

Only sad news... they sold out their Voigtlander inventory a while ago, when they advertised a "great Voigtlander sale." However, they carry a small amount of used Leica glass (LTM) which befits your newly acquired camera.

How was the trip? I hope you're not too tired. Just bundle up! It's BBBBRRRReally cold out there! 😉

Welcome Roberto. Glad you got the camera from Gandy; you'll love it! If you are planning to come downtown this Saturday, maybe you/I could start a new thread with "Chicago meeting" and see who's around and available.
