New York NYC CameraPlusExpo 2016/ AKA January Meet-Up/ Camera Olympics

Hey folks of NYC and the other loitering Aussie in the neighbourhood ;)
I'll also be around and it would be great to meet y'all!
Would love to share some photo works with you but my camera won't be competing in the pageant, I mean, olympics, due to sports injuries.

K,

Welcome. I expect a rather big flash mob where more people I don't know than people I do at this point.

For the filter swappers;
I have a B+W 39mm 092 dark red filter for IR film. We tested it once with an M8 with interesting usable results. That was the only time I ever used it, so if anyone is interested, I can always use good UV filters in 39mm, 40mm, or 49mm. I'm also looking for a cheap Nikon lens, like a 50mm or something, basically a body cap with glass.

Christian,

I have to dig out my filter surplus. I think I have extra UV in 39mm. Likely B&W MRC.

As far as cheap Nikon lenses you can borrow my 55/2.8 Macro indefinitely until I need it back and the cost is free. It is a great normal lens if you don't need speed, and some PJ's use it as their normal lens because it is so sharp and flat fielded. If you want I also have extension tubes and slide copy adapter as well.

By the way, I have two developed rolls of 120 that I need to scan, anyone know where I can get this done cheaply or have a scanner I could access? I can pay in beer and/or film?
Edit: went to Bushwick community dark room and scanned em there!

OMG -- my face is scowling! But, I was really enjoying everything -- and especially Cal's great job as an MC :) I have to work on my "resting" face -- it's f-ing scary! Great seeing everyone.
 
Cal,

A very successful and fun afternoon. So we have 2 guests from Australia, a few from Philly, a of course, NYC/LI/NJ crowd. Thank you for organizing and doing the "land grab".

John, thanks for sharing the photos.

J-M,

Jim and Randy have incited plans to set up some field events involving perhaps a Philly Meet-Up (our friends in Philly are many). Let's not make our friendships one sided.

Also how cool would it be to do say do an overnight visit to Baltimore as a shooting vacation as a small group.

Of course this would be when the weather is pleasant.

I think it was apparent to the new comers of how strong a support group we have and the great friendships we all enjoy. Most of all we create a safe place for everyone.

Very happy I finally made to a meet up. Had a great time and I really want to put some work together. Seeing Cal's prints and some others photo books has inspired me. Thanks for having me.
