Randy,
Jim is coming. I don't know if you want to hook up with him to come from Philly? Jim intends to shoot the Easter Parade.
BTW I'll be bringing a box of 13x19's that I printed using Piezography. Kinda stunning IQ and tonality. "Brutal," I say.

Thanks Cal..
Gee, I wonder if they will ever close their doors.
On another note...... I did pick up a Df.. It just feels too good. (right John 🙂 )

Jeff,
Conrats.
In May I will be getting my "Free" Nikon D3X. Basically "Maggie" is forking over the dough when she gets paid this "grant money." I told her $3K gets me a used fresh one.
Friday was in a loft in Soho at some designer's "Trunk Sale." Saturday went to the Pier Antiques Show where we we kinda like celeberties.
See everyone at Puck Fair Sunday April 5th.

Cal, you're going to need a split prism screen and DK-17m for that D3x. 😀

Phil,
I hope to clone what you did. I already own two DK-17's because of you. Send me a PM about which Canon screen I need to het and the mod that I need to perform to make it fit.
Now I wish I had my Noct-Nikkor again.

John,
Perhaps next February instead of having "The Camera Olympics" we should have a "Camera Halloween Ball."
The R8-Diesel is a Leica built "Monster." They don't build old German cameras like they use to. "This rig is brutal," I say. "Diesel" is so big and chubby that it does not need a grip. Also it has a nasty knickname by people who hate the design: "The Hunchback Of Solms."
Then there is "Beauty And The Beast," the merging of a minty Shelf Queen black SL2-MOT with a black SL@ in "Street Fighter Condition" (SFC) into one exceptional camera. This is a Calzone original: Who else would do such a thing?
My rigged out M's with TA Rapidwinders and Rapidgrips try to look like Nikon F3P's, but now on my camera shelves in the "Camera Museum" they are looking rather small. The Leica IIIG kinda looks almost invisible.
I'm jones-sing for another Noct-Nikkor, and might have to day trade some gear. In May a Nikon D3X.
BTW It seems like I'm printing so much that every two weeks I have to refill my carts with ink. The gloss overcoat gets drained rather quickly, and next are the mid tones.
Finally I need to learn to spot in LR5. I still have about $1.2K in credit at Digital Silver Imaging. and will be maxing out in size, even though I no longer have money for framing. I'll be getting a 30x40 and 40x60 from an exceptional file. I found another shot that has higher IQ than the one of the 5 cars in Columbus Circle. This new shot displays more detail and features a double decker bus that is mirror imaged and looking to crash into itself.
Mark Cuban once said, "Go big, or don't go."

Haha, that's pretty clever...
It's your favorite Nikon lens...so you have to go for it. And it'll work well for your purpose.
It's very simple. You'll be fine.

Sounds good to me... then maybe I can compete for once.

John,
Another idea is "A Camera Mar-Dee-Graw." Pretty close to Lent. A lot like Halloween, but with a twist.

John, I already emailed Cal, introducing him to his private tutor Julieanne. Watching YouTube may still be too hi-tech...

I figure that only holds true when he's at home... at work he will relax his low-tech ways. However, he's a full fledged digital photographer these days.

John,
But I'm still a raging film guy who is primitive and retro.
What scares me the most is color photography. We'll see when the D3X becomes part of my arsenal...
At 56 I got about 3 more years before I have to get ready to quit my job.
