I'm planning to be there. Here's a mug shot so you'll recognise me.
 
I'm planning on going.
Not looking for anything in particular but you never know.
I'll be there around 10 if anyone wants to say howdy.

that works for me, too.
i plan to be there about 9:45 to stand in the queue....look for a tall skinny bloke with dark hair and a moustache, wearing a black M6TTL....
 
You guys hurt my bank account.
But I think this time I will have to give it a miss. Pity. Sounds like a more organised meeting schedule.
My excuse is the 6 day old arrival in the picture.

Have fun. I'll ask the boss if I can come down but I'll be shocked if she says yes.

Maybe if I explain that we really need an M body to take good photos of the baby....:)

Hi,

How often are these Fairs held and what are they like. Just bought a R3a and bank balance is shot and other things planned but might be good next time it's held.

Cheers,

John
 
Hi John - I think they're held quarterly. According to the advert in Photographic Trader, the next one is 22 October.

I attended one about a year ago - probably about 100m of tables loaded with all sorts of stuff!
 
Thanks, Chris. I'll keep that date open. While in town my wife can spend a corresponding amount on clothes. That's the way it normally works :)

Cheers,

John
 
Well worth it

Well worth it

I did well - after resolving not to buy any new cameras that I don't need. Picked up some 39mm filters for my "new" collapsible Summicron . I also managed to find a lens hood for the Sonnar 50/2 on my Contax IIa. These come up on ebay only infrequently - and often at silly prices. I manged to find TWO at the fair! All in all, a good market and I'm glad I went.
 
ah so......
welcome! shame you didn't let us know ahead of time, Ben, Chris, myself, and my friend Glenn met up at the fair then had a quiet ale or two in a pub in Darling Harbour afterwards.
Always good to put a person to the handle.....

Last minute

I only heard about the fair on Friday - have only been to one before. I was pleasantly surprised. Also managed to get an old Russian turret viewfinder which I can use with the Color Skopar 28mm. Would have come to the pub but I had my seven year old son in tow, poor kid.

Next time, I hope.
