New York NYC RFF Meet-up wants to help fellow RFF member Phil_F_NM

[jsrockit]

can you check on the need for a bag? i have a like new domke 5xc bag that i can mail or take with me to n.y. mid april.

We haven't been in contact with Phil about any of this. I kind of want him to be surprised once he sees the thread. I'm sure the bag will come in handy as well. 🙂

Ok, I'm going to take a nap now. Be back in a few hours with an update.

 

[Calzone]

I agree. Just easier to manage for me. We are up to $175! 😀

John,

Thanks for managing all this. Thanks Pro-Mone for coming up with the idea. Thanks everyone for the support. You gotta love this forum.

Yes, that needs to be stressed here. This a group effort and shows we have good hearted people here. I will donate $50 myself by the way. So we are really up to $225.

I will send Paypal to John's acct

Thanks
Paul

I pitched in as well.

Maybe let us all know where it stands at the end of the day?

I would like to contribute something later tonight when I'm on my personal computer.

remember, it all adds up so don't worry if it's a 5 buck contribution or a $50. one!!

Please don't forget all the Nikon accessories and spare glass that was donated.

I just contributed to the Phil fund; we should at $275. Thanks for organizing this noble cause.

Sure - I'm in - will contribute once I get home tonight.

Just an idea - maybe one of the NYC members can reach out to Helen Oster - Adorama's ustomer service ambassador. Her email is: helen@adorama.com

I already did, and I also called my salesman Gary at Adorama, but the Nikon D2X that was available disappeared. I hadn't heard back from Helen yet, but Gary informed me there was little he could do because it was so close to the Passover Holiday, and they were in the process of closing down.

Update... $494.65! donated from 17 RFF users!!

I think the D2hs is still there!😉

 

[dave lackey]

Here's the link.

Hey, I think that guy is just up the road from me! Can't contact him, though, as my account on Nikonians was deleted at some point in the past.🙄 If I can help contact this person, let me know because that price is a killer deal! I suppose the question is whether a replacment D2Hs or a D2Xs?

Edit:

It turns out via emails, that the seller works a block away from our rehab in Buckhead! I plan to meet him anyway just to talk photography in general!

 

[Pioneer]

A bit more on the way for the cause.

 

[jsrockit]

Just for full transparency, my full name is John Gellings. We are at $592.40.

 

[jmcd]

Good vibes on RFF.

 

[jsrockit]

Looks like Dave lackey will look into a $700 Nikon D2Xs for us.

I have to admit, I know nothing of these Nikon DSLRs... the specs (which I can look up) or the used prices. Help with this would be appreciated in determining the best option.

 

[kdemas]

That D2XS is an excellent deal. Super low actuations...it will do great work for Phil for a long time if it ends up being "the one".
