New York NYC December Meet-Up

Cal, I just read your tag line at the bottom of your post. Selling the Noct-Nikkor!? Did it get too light so you're wanting to move to a 200mm f/2 Nikkor? :D

Congrats on the MM coming your way!

Cal, you don't have any problems taking pictures a that bridge, last time I was down
there some eastsider was yelling at me to stop taking pictures of that bridge or she
would call a cop!, I just took it and walked away, and talking about bosses I feel you pain.

There's no way that I would let someone tell me to stop photographing something like that. I'd tell them to go ahead and call the cops.
 
That's got to be somekind of collectors edition. Film shot of "THE" bulb by jsrockit....????
Gotta be worth something..
 
Its been a few months since I have joined yall, and I miss you very much so I will try to make it.

Cal - could you bring the 58F1.2? I got a new toy... D700.
 
I suppose if space allows, I can tripod my large format and take one more shoot of the lightbulb-:), with recently acquired nikkor-w 210/5.6.

cal, could you bring 50lux?

Film and flash... worth exactly nothing. ;) Looks like I'll be cutting out of the meet-up early... about 2:30 or so. Anyone want to buy a Voigtlander Bessa r4a (the one with 21mm-50mm framelines)? I'll bring it along if so... ;)

Phil,

A MM is on the way and will likely become my high ISO rig.

I recently bought a black 45/2.8P and now have my F3P rigged without a motordrive, but I added a grip to annoy John. LOL.

I can be a real jerk sometimes on purpose, but when someone kind of gets in my face and hostile, I tent to say I'm sorry and that I didn't mean no harm, or other times I compliment them if it happens to be a street shot by saying that they looked cool and I was just compelled to take the shot.

BTW it was on September 11th 2010 when I scurried like a cockroach and hid in the shadows to evade a NYPD helicopter. I was trespassing and it was not easy avoiding not getting arrested, especially while carrying two medium format cameras.

Another time was detaind by three NYPD detectives but was not arrested. Again I was trespassing, but the vacant lot had no postings nor any fence to bar access and it was in another remote area. If you see something say something came into effect I figure because it was likely that a hipster couple dialed 911 because they saw something unusual: a Chinese guy with a ponytail and a camera.

Also was publicly degraded and humiliated by a sargant in front of his squad, basically a van load of cops. I just happen to be in a remote part of LIC on yet another September 11th with a Rolliflex, but I was not even taking a picture. The van full of cops stopped and some rookie in the passenger seat motioned for me to come over. The interagation first began with a "What are you doing here?" and my response was walking around with a camera, but because I was near the raised part of the LIE the sargant in the driver's seat started degrading me. It began with the question, "Do you know what day it is?" and ended with the sargant repeating, "What were you thinking?" again and again.

If you come to the Meet-Up I will have an enlargment that was taken with my Tele Rollieflex on the September 11th when I was chased by the NYPD Helicopter.

Anyways so far I haven't been waterboarded yet.

Mervyn,

I'll be bringing a few wet prints (20x24) that Chelsea Photographic did for me from 6x6 and 6x9 negatives. Today I'm picking up another print.

I have two 50 Lux's ASPH. I upgraded to a mucho heavy chromed brass version. The black version I'm selling still has two more years on the three year passport warrentee. The chrome version is almost as heavy as my 75 Lux. My old Wetzlar M6 with Rapidwinder and Rapidgrip feels like a bowling ball with the chrome 50 Lux mounted. LOL.

Currently I'm number 4 on the list for a MM.

Would like to see that; meet up before the meet-up?

(Obviously, this means I'm making this meet-up.) ;-)

Barrett,

Save a Sunday in February for the 2013 Camera Beauty Contest. We need you as the MC.

Did you know that this past November makes the NYC Meet-Up four years old. Damaso started it and we have been meeting monthly for 4 straight years, except for one month that got skipped somehow.

The 2013 contest will be for the 4th straight year.

This year I think I will be entering two black paint cameras. FWIW it seems our camera beauty contest is more of a freak show because cameras that are strange, bizarre or different seem to do well.

John can you bring your Fuji 35mm 1.4? I ordered a XE-1 kit after a lot of agonizing and should get it on Wednesday. I really want to see how the 35mm preforms since i think i might just sell the zoom to get it. This is if i don't return it within the week and get a X100. I'am not convinced about the XE-1 but couldn't buy the X100 and then keep wondering about "what if":)
