Meet Up

[ennuipoet]

Just wanted to say met up with Orionid and Kestrana in NYC this weekend, it was, as they say on the interwebs, full of Win!. Any time anyone else blows through town, definitely let me know, I find I like playing tourist from time to time!

Orionid and Kestrana at Strawberry Fields, why yes, they are taking photographs!

Do I spy a folder? 35mm or medium format? And a TLR?

/Still need to run a roll through the awesome Argus brick I bought off Orionid…

You sure do spy a folder. And a sort-of tlr. Kestrana‘s Using her great-grandparents Voigtl?nder Bessa (620), and I’m using a Brownie Target 620 force-stuffed with 35mm.

[Elsinore]

Oooo Voigtlander. Re-rolling 120?

[orionid]

Yup 😀

[orionid]

Oh, and FWIW, Ennuipoet‘s pretty cool and makes for a good tour-guide/shooting buddy.

[Elsinore]

Nice. Still want to order a pre-re-rolled roll from B&H to run through my Grandfather’s old Ansco Readyflash to see if it’s worth my time to re-roll myself.

[orionid]

Yeah, I need…. errr…. want to order a few more empty spools from fleabay so I can carry more than two respools with when we go out shooting. Especially when there’s three or four 620’s between us (frikkin kodaks and germans).

[Elsinore]

Or get a Zeiss 515 that takes 120 😉

LOL! I think you spent more time with your arms in the bag than with hands on the camera! It did gather some strange looks! And one bride and groom.

Hmmm…. they’re not as expensive as I was expecting…..

Heh, yeah. Although the first wedding photographer we saw did give a nod of approval.

[Kestrana]

That guy was cool. The others…uh…well…

[ennuipoet]

Kit LENS!

I think I told everyone at work today the story about that photographer. “So get this guys, professional wedding photographer has the lowest of low end Canon dslrs and an 18-55 lens on it. And that was all she had. And then the bride asked orionid to take some vintage photos with his landcam and the photographer insisted he email her and not the bride…”
