I wish I could bring that overhauled Contax II with me but I do not think it will be this meet-up. You'll have to settle for me and whatever I can find. That Pixii has to be somewhere in the house. I'll bring it if I can find it.

Miles and Max showed up and we all closed the joint around 4:00. We had a vote and decided that cameras are all done and it's phones now. ;o)

Maybe Lomography will come out with a phone that loads with Minox film. And one with a sticky note pad so you can leave text messages.
And a Rotary Dial.
I'll bet there would be the counter-culture that would buy this. We'll use a Sonnar design lens.

Is B&H taking orders against future delivery? I'm on board for this one.
 
I think we can do a virtual rotary dial in firmware, using the touch screen.
Using film will save on firmware development and memory requirements.
 
Assembly Language for the low-level stuff, Fortran+C or upper level code. I did a whole GUI in Fortran where Screen Memory was mapped into a Common Block by rewriting the Page Table Entries.

Man, you should have done it in COBOL. LOL You are out there in Wizard Guru land with that stuff. I did some C family coding but it was simple classroom stuff and I never was happy about it. That did not help my career at P@B. AL is a real language, I kind of think of the C family as a kludge. Anyway, I know you got it to run seamlessly and that is what we get paid for. Error prone code is cheaper. ;o)

My dear aunt used to say, "A poor excuse is better than none at all." I hope you can make it. Miles and I had a tough time holding off the French Language Club last month. They kept speaking French and trying to steal our cameras.
 
OK, the Incorrigibles showed up, Miles and I. It was a pleasant get together. There was a comfortable exchange of views and coffee drinking. Miles wrestled me to the ground, twisted my arm behind my back, put a knee into the space between my shoulder blades and made off with my Skyllaney Bertele Sonnar. And as soon as I can find the Pixii I will mail it off to him. I had promised both but was unable to find the Pixii. Miles had a sweet OM1, looked like brand new. I just had the old, beat up M9 and the Contax II. Both great basic cameras.

It's pretty rough to be 86'ed from a coffee bar but that is what happened. It was all Miles' fault.

Same time, same place next month.

OK, Miles cannot make the 5 July meet. But I will drive up from Astoria and drag along some analog and some other sundry stuff. I hope to see some other folks, the ones who survived the BBQ eating festivities of the 4th. Come, drink coffee, share and tell lies.
 
OK, reminder that 5 July is the next get-together at Taborspace for the PDX Camera Group. There will be a latte raffled off for some lucky participant. Miles will be off camping, fending off bears in the PNW wilderness.
