New York January NYC Meet-UP ( possible new uptown location)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

It's been a long time since I've seen you guys! I hope you all are well. Am wishing you a very Happy New Year, everyone!
 
Jan 20th in Halam should work for me. Sorry guys for MIA. Have been busy between travel and work ... and holidays.

Cal, the 21mm Super Elmar f/3.4 did very well while I was traveling in Spain ... or I should announce !!!GEAR ALERT!!!

John

John,

Between you and Tung you guys have the complete Leica catalog. LOL.

I'm thinking that a 21/3.4 Super Elmar will compliment the Plaubel 69W, and I already own a Zeiss 21mm VF'er.

It seems that I'm number 2 on the list for the MM at my dealer. With the Christmas to New Year's break at the Leica factory I expect a new camera towards the end of the month. The long wait has been good for me because I had the time to save some money to pay for it.

Cal, I'll bring my micro-nikkor in LTM.

Wow. That would be something very different. Please note that next month is a big beauty contest which is really a camera show of sorts. Now on its fourth year.

Perhaps I'll bring out my black paint Leica II (Model D) that utilizes a TA Rapidgrip. LOL. John calls most of my cameras "monsters" BTW. LOL.

Cal
 
LOL, and I'll also bring my shintaro-painted Olive Green M3.

Brutal.

I had a M3-DS that had been factory overhauled by Leica, even the prism was resilvered by Leica. I wish I still had that M3. :bang: Lost it in a trade.

I also miss a black paint Leica III (Model F) that featured mucho brassing and nickel knobs, even the nickel knobs were brassed from decades of use. Lost that camera also the the same art dealer.

Anyways be aware that I've been known to day trade LTM Leicas so fast that I didn't have time to put any film through them. The current black paint Leica II is a camera I bought, sold to John, and bought back. LOL. All this happened perhaps over a two or three week period.

Anyways you might want to hold back on bringing out some of your gear because next month's meet-up features the Fourth Annual Camera Beauty Contest. It's kind of a bare knuckle event where basically the only rule that is strictly enforced is "No Biting." LOL.

Don't forget about the January Meet-Up for you lurkers that are more closely following the February Fourth Annual Camera Beauty Contest thread.

GEAR ALERT: For us Nikon SLR users I'll be bringing a DK17M VF'er magnifier that I'll be likely getting this Sunday. Bring your cameras if you want to try it out.

I took the liberty of inviting a friend from my local camera club.
He owns a Leica lens, and has a Leica-NEX adapter so I guess he can come, right? Joking...

Cant wait to see everyone in the new year!
 
Keep your fingers crossed for good weather...

...'cause there is a chance that I'll be at this one!

I'm coming back east this week and might be there in time. If not, I'll make it to the beauty contest!
