New York March RFF New York Meet-up?

[slowbicycle]

yep, i shelled out for the hewes, and also got that big-ass changing tent that cal had... might as well, right?

 

[andredossantos]

The tent makes it easier as well. I want one but haven't plunked down yet.

 

[robklurfield]

hewes: definitely worth extra $$$. can't believe that I suffered through plastic Jobo reels by being a cheapskate. penny wise, pound foolish.

 

[JuJu]

Hum... I have been using Jobo tank, maybe it's time For me to try some ss ones that everyone's raving about...

 

[jsrockit]

I never had an issue loading on any type of reel. However, I did prefer the plastic ball bearing type for 35mm and the metal ones for 120.

So, do we have a time for Willets yet?

Let's be dramatic and say "High Noon." LOL.

We need to compile a list of who is going to make it because of probable subway delays. We'll wait around a bit for stragglers. EH-Haa.

I'll be there. We'll meet just outside the subway.

BTW Queensboro Plaza is a really great place to shoot at night. Lots of urban lighting, emtyness and filth. Kinda dodgy if you are not familair with the area. About a 3 minute walk from my house.

Do it, Tung. You will not regret it. One thing: get them at Adorama, they are cheaper than at B&H.

Okay, I will get some next time I go to Adorama. How about developing tanks? Any recommendations? My Jobo leaks only when I am agitating the fixer, but it's watertight when doing developing & stopping :bang:Yeah, it's naughty

Great! thanks, Andre. My films are started to pile up, time to give them a nice bath 🙂

I will try Diafine after I empty my HC110 & Rodinal.

I'm a big slacker, and I have 28 rolls to develope before Saturday, but I've been using all my cameras.

As a mostly digital user, you guys would be shocked that I have 20 rolls of film to get developed. 🙂 I won't be doing myself anymore though ...

I'm not so shocked. As I have come to know you, I'm never surprised, as you are a very creative person.

[jsrockit]

Ok, see you, and anyone else that wants to come, there.

 

[andredossantos]

I'm in! I'll see you guys on the platform at Noon.

John: I don't know if you were planning on bringing the Nokton for my benefit but if you were, don't worry about it. I'm not sure I'm bringing my Leica.

 

[Darshan]

Hi guys,

I am always intrigued by these RFF meet threads here, and wish I can make it to one of the meetings and hang out with photo buddies. 😉

Turns out, I will be in NY this weekend and would love to meet you all. I can't promise however as I am visiting family, and you know how it is when you see your family after a month-long break..😉

If I end up coming, I will have to drive there as by the time I reach the Jamaica station (I live in LI), I can very well reach Willet's Point. How is parking around there?

This is sort of funny, because that's pretty much all Willet's is, parking. 😉

LOL, that "is" funny.
