It really was sparse. Many of the regulars weren't there and many that were had stripped down stock.
with any luck the next one will be better.

I was there.....I just bought some film. I got to handle a Kiev 4 and a FED 1. 😀 I dunno but I didn't like how they set it up. Not enough space to move.

Usually there's less space, about 30% more tables and you have to kill people to move. 😀 Most of the FSU stuff was rather overpriced I thought. I considered some of the film, but 3 year out of date T-Max didn't seem like a great deal.w3rk5 said:

I thought the FSU stuff was overpriced also. Well the film I got was pretty cheap. 2 for $1 Fuji Superia 400. I asked the seller how old this film was. He told me I have a month to use it before it's past it's past its prime. It didn't matter. It was cheap and I wanted to see the difference between fresh and stale film.

I decided to pass on this one for the sake of my wallet and family peace. But last time I also got in on the $0.50 rolls (24exp) of Superia 400 and 800, and $2 rolls of 120-format Tri-X (from another seller).
There's one seller who always sets up in the back-right corner of the hall (viewed from the door) who has some very nice but horrendously expensive Zorkis, etc. Is that who you guys are talking about?
I also get a kick out of the $350 Yashicamats and $600 Mamiya C330s.

I managed to have a quick look around before meeting with John. I saw some high prices and I saw some low prices. High, were the Leica IIIf's @$500, low (I thought) was a Summitar for $250 and a recent model Elmar f2.8 for $300. This is all Canadian.
There were some Nikon RF's there too. User S3's for $1200, and S2's for $1000, no lenses. There was a new in box Nikon S2-2000 with lens for $2300. I thought that was good compared to the new S3 that sold here for $5000US.

Both the past Vancouver camera shows/meets sucked. Each year they suck a bit more. I miss the big one when they set up down West 4th Avenue. Now it's out in the stick's end of Burnaby. 😎
