Illinois July 2012 meet-up

I will be there and will bring a couple of rolls of expired T-Max...... just can not bring myself to shoot that stuff any more.... I will be wearing a black shirt with a Rolleiflex printed on the front
 
Bumpity Bump - last call for fellow RFF'ers - 1:00 pm today @ Sel Marie in Lincoln Square. I will try to reserve a table as it gets busy there on weekends
 
A good time was had by all.

Rico, Tony, Mish, Jan and me

Tony brought the massive Fuji G690 - a Texas Leica as he said.
Lots of Rolliflexes and a Rollicord, one beautiful Leica III? I brought the Nikon Collection - SP and S2.

The RFF 2012 postcards were passed around, old/expired film was auctioned off. drinks were had, stories told. shop talk, darkroom talk, gear talk.

Another successful RFF Chicago chapter meeting.

Thanks all
 
Yes. I had a good time, as well. Loved your Nikon SP, Marc. Everybody had cool stuff. And I loved seeing the postcards.

It was great to meet up with everyone again. We need to get together more often.
 
Ohh, sounds fun, too bad I just found this thread sadly - today?!

Never saw that this site had a meet up section.

Maybe next time!

It was a fun gathering, but waaay too much medium format. 😀 The Barnack of MISH (Don?) was postwar, so IIIc or IIIf. It was compactly rigged for 28mm. I thought Tony's Rolleiflex w/ adapted Hassy 45° prism was awesome. Sampling the RFF Postcard Project was mind expanding, and I want to join the next round. Expired film was exchanged freely - looks like I'm to shoot B&W after a 20-year hiatus!

I propose we meet again before the snow hits.
 
I had a great time, it was great to actually talk face to face with people that share my interests. Everyone managed to bring equipment that I was not overly familiar with and it was a good opportunity to check it out. I also was impressed with the photos from the post card project and would like to participate in the next round. I think maybe to get my feet wet, at the next meeting I will bring everyone attending a 5x7 print.

Can't wait to do it again

Sounds like a great idea! If I can ( finally ) get my darkroom finished, I just may do the same.
