Photographica Fair, Houten (NL), 13 Nov 2011

[Ron (Netherlands)]

Beer sounds fine (always does, right?) 😀

sure, perhaps a good idea to exchange our mobile numbers

 

[Penny Lane]

That would be fun! Though I'll be driving so so much for drinking beer...

 

[Mr_Flibble]

Still going, I'll see about wearing my Red Leica or Al Kaplan "Silver is Better" shirt.

Unfortunately my spending cash has evaporated. So I'll be hunting for bargains.

 

[B.J.Scharp]

I'll probably have a look around too. M3 with a collapsible Cron. In a Thinktank Retrospective 5.

 

[Hatch]

Still not sure if I'll be able to make it.
Bit of a flu.

If I manage to get there , I'll wear a Red Point jacket 😀.
And probably my M2 or Rolleiflex.

And a silly grin of course. 🙂

That won't help one bit. Last time in Doesburg I saw lot of those! 😛

At least I'll have some small change to burn, just dumped a Parts Nikon F and 50/1.8 on a buyer. Didn't want to wait any longer for a decent price so somebody got lucky! 😀

 

[Hatch]

Might strap on my Minolta XM then.
Not too much of those at Houten I'm sure.

Although one can hope.
The lightmeter on mine is broken.🙁

So I'll probably be looking for a replacement AE or preferably an AES finder.

The non appearence of the NEX 7 gave me some financial room to shop a bit.
Might even try flogging my Rolleiflex as I don't seem to use it.
So might as well get some stuff I will use instead.

Still going 🙂 will carry a blue Domke F6 and a chrome M3 with me.
It looks like going by public transport I need to take in Utrecht a train to Breda that makes a stop in Houten. Couldn't find any info about this postbus 611 which is mentioned on a poster.

 

[Mr_Flibble]

The postbox is just for mail contact, I guess for renting a stand or something.

The address is underneath it:Meidoornkade 24 in Houten.


Hmmm looks like I'll be carrying my FED and my Rolleicord

There. Tank full of diesel, cash on hand, address jotted down to tell the satnav where we're going... Can't think of anything else that might need doing right now. See you all tomorrow!

What hat and/or cameras will you be wearing???

 

[johannielscom]

Don't worry Ron, I can point Derk out, just look for my black hat!

 

[Michiel Fokkema]

Picked up a decent Leica R7 with motordrive for almost nothing.

 

[Mr_Flibble]

Nice, way outta my league 😉


I came home with this.

Already had the shutter apart and cleaned. There was a dead moth in there 😵

 

[Ron (Netherlands)]

Luckily I could spend a little more than two years ago since I found a camera that was for long years at my 'wishlist'. This ones shutter is tip-top and is hard to find in this condition and complete. So I plan to take some pictures with it (this is the 9 x 12 version):

 

[said]

;-)

 

[Penny Lane]

Was fun. Got too much stuff (again), nice lot of winter projects. Also, my gf got a nice little RF (her first): a Braun Super Paxette. The virus spreads...

I'll stilll need a lens mount for a Zorki-1 though, and also shutter curtains (or material) to repair a Praktica FX. It runs beautifully, but the first curtain's all torn up. I foresee lots of tinkering fun this winter!

Talking to some fellow RFFers was also very nice, sorry to everyone I didn't spot!

 

[danielmk2]

Wow I missed this thread. I'm also in Houten today, many great stuffs just like before, and I bought a serie VII uva for my summilux 35 and a friend got an M2 from a very kind person 😀

 

[Mr_Flibble]

Nice finds everyone!

Ron, sorry didn't get your message (RFF sends it to my office) to go for a beer afterwards. I ran out of money around 2pm anyway 😉


Super Paxette?! dang, I missed that one 😉
