Photokina!! Anyone going?

[Pirate]

Scheduled for September 21 through 26 at the Cologne Trade Fair, Germany.

Anyone have plans to go?

I'm requesting the whole week off from work and I'm dragging a German Professional photographer buddy of mine with me.

I'll have to work so... yes.

It's only 45 minutes with the train for me so I will definitely go there. Probably on friday or saturday. If someone is interested we could meet for a beer.

 

[Pirate]

Heck Yes!!!

 

[Roger Hicks]

Yes. Staying in Fischmarkt. There for the whole show. Going to be damnably busy, though. There's a good, really cheap Greek restaurant -- well, more of a Schnellimbißstube, really - a couple of stops from the halls if anyone wants to meet there for dinner one night.

Cheers,

R.

I will be there.
(Normally I skip the first day (politicians and TV reporters)).

 

[SimonSawSunlight]

I think I'll be there for the whole show as well. staying in Bonn though, probably. If anyone needs a ride from somewhere not too far I give some of you folks a ride - assumed I'm having the car then, that is.
(I've deleted my redundant thread :angel: )

I just wanted to bring up the topic again because photokina is starting soon. I'm planning to take a day off from work and visit photokina on Wed. 22., Thu 23. or Fr. 24. Anyone there to meet during the day or probably for a beer at night?
Anyone working there? Could you tell us where?

 

[SimonSawSunlight]

I'm planning on being there during the weekend, maybe a bit earlier already.

If I was free I would drive over, but my friends are planning a trip to the north of France (Chez les Ch'tis!) that just offers too many good times and photo opps to pass up.

Don't like fairs on weekends. So crowded. I remember that I visited photokina on a friday two years ago. That was ok. If you are interested in a photo walk in cologne maybe on the weekend, let me know.

 

[Phantomas]

Will be there Thursday-Friday. If I recognize any of you I'll say hi. Just make sure to carry your RF visibly 🙂

 

[schaubild]

Will be there full time too

😉

 

[SimonSawSunlight]

well, plans changed a bit and I think I'll be there just for the friday and saturday, maybe thursday already. looking forward to meeting some of you rff fellows!

 

[Renzsu]

I'll be there Thursday, my boss is also going haha. We both took the day off from work 🙂

 

[kkdanamatt]

Photokina--yes

Photokina--yes

I'll be there on Friday. My last Photokina was 1984.

Back then, Leica was giving free tune-ups and fixed the meter of my CL in one day!

Yes. Staying in Fischmarkt. There for the whole show. Going to be damnably busy, though. There's a good, really cheap Greek restaurant -- well, more of a Schnellimbißstube, really - a couple of stops from the halls if anyone wants to meet there for dinner one night.

Hi, Roger...I'd like to meet you, but my mobile won't work in Germany. How can we arrange to have dinner? Oh, BTW, I will have the GF with me, but I'll pay for her meal.😉

 

[M like Leica M6]

I will be there on thursday.

What are your plans, which stands will you visit?

 

[SimonSawSunlight]

things have changed a little and I can't go now 🙁 maybe next year, have fun!
