California (Bay Area, Northern) Impromptu SF Bay Area Meeting 9/27!!

[RayPA]

Hi SF Bay Area members. We (ferider, vrgard, ampguy, cmogi, and I) are pulling together an impromptu local meeting. I've PM'd several members already. PM me if you need directions. We're meeting in Burlingame this Thursday at 7:30 PM.

Sorry Ray, can't make it this time, & I wouldn't even need directions. Maybe the next one. Post some photos, though, eh? Only one of the bakery with the interesting light got posted that I saw. Did anyone else post one?
cheers,
Guy

I will likely not be able to make it either. I would have loved to see everyone again as I had a great time with the last meet.

I haven't posted my bakery shot yet...it's because I'm not happy with my shot but I'll get it up here soon.

Scheduling difficulties

 

[cmogi10]

Hey! Anyone coming up feel like bring a 35mm Biogon or a 35mm Asph Cron? =D
Or a 75 lux? it's all fun and games

 

[vrgard]

Sorry you can't make it, Guy!

And Carl, I don't have either of those lenses. But will be bringing my v4 Cron (not that I'm selling it, however). And you already turned down my CV 75/2.5. 😉

-Randy

 

[ferider]

I'll bring v3 ... 🙂

I think Ted has an ASPH.

Looking forward to tonight, guys.

Roland.

 

[agi]

How'd the meetup go guys?

 

[vrgard]

You missed a good time, John. Let's see, we had Roland, Ray, Ted, Mike, Carl, Martin and myself. Not to mention an interesting assortment of cameras and lenses. You shoulda seen Mike's vintage ltm Summar lens on Carl's M8 - talk about mixing the old with the new! And a bit of horse trading went on as well (Roland got his 90 Cron, I got a nice black leather A&A neck strap and an M3 spool, I think a viewfinder magnifier deal was done, etc.). I'll leave it to Ted and Carl to post some of their digi-pics of the gathering. Definitely a good time was had by all and we'll have to do it again soon.

[ferider]

I want to see Ray's J-3 picture 🙂

I left the Bay Area over 5 years ago,
Does anyone know about meetings of members in New York, like the ones in SF.

Thanks
Steve Harris

 

[vrgard]

I forgot about the J3 on the M8! Come on, Ray, show us the goods!

-Randy

Wish I could have been there.

I thought the Nikon S3 and 35mm f1.8 was the big hit of the night. Who brought that one? 🙂

 

[RayPA]

Sorry for the delay on posting photos. Much fun last night...well the brawl was a little out of hand, as was the torching and tipping of the police car, but bail wasn't hard to make. I just had to sell a few cameras to make it. But I'm out, and the first order of business was to DL some photos. D200 CV 40/2:

[vrgard]

Gee thanks, Ray, for the new moniker... 😱

 

[ampguy]

lol - L-man!

My digicam f30 photos are here:

http://matsumura.smugmug.com/gallery/3553187#201291930

not nearly as sharp or as well composed as Ray's D200/CV photos, or Carl's M8 photos.

A co-worker photo friend liked the one where Roland is moving and slightly blurred, but his nice (and I'm sure fast...) cycle is in focus.

I had a great time. Look forward to another get together soon. Film roll scans next week, unless Ray's 1 hour photo opens shop 😉
