I have spent a fortune in petrol the last two weekends, so doubt I'll make it, although I need to get down soon so I can get some hands on to decide on a 50 or 85 prime lens. Do you have the 50s and the 85s or do I need to rely on Glen bringing his collection when I visit in a few weeks.

Weekend after Easter I'm in Rutherglen so I'll probably make it on 9/4.

Fozzie
Shame I'll miss both you and the reds (in that order).

stubbsy,
Forget about the "Zoom Zoom" get the one with equipped solar cell then no more talk about the fuel! you're not fill up your car! you filled up the Govt. coffin same as I do.

What do you mean: if or do I have the 50 or 85?
I do have the 50/1.4, 85/1.4 for my own collection, even I don't use much the 50 nowaday.

Stubbsy, there is virtually nothing Birddog doesn't have :wink:

Easter Saturday meet, as mentioned I have Matt.K come in and we play around with macro shoot.
So everythings are organized and in place.

Wish I could make this one (easter lunch (feast) sounds very good :lol:

It has been way to long since I tasted Mrs Birddogs cooking :lol:

) but I will be away.

Looking at the calendar I think I shoudl be able to make the 9th or 16th.

Sorry birddog. I meant would there be those lenses there for me to play with. I'm guessing the answer is yes. Why don't you use the 50?

Minor point of order - Easter Saturday is actually the 26th.

I've added these events to the calendar.

stubbsy,
Yes, I have those lenses here for you to do the test shoot.
I have so many lenses, so, my main use are: 28/1.4, 17-35, 28-70/2.8, 85/1.4, 105DC/2, 70-200VR and 200-400VR.
I use the 50/1.4 at some other times.

I ran it over Gary's effort above - it barely registered! :lol:

Cricketfan, I would guess that Gary's comment has probably been used a few times in the past to Leigh, his son. The name play would add to it :wink:

I could do with one of those to hang up in the home. Can you courier it over here?

I also need a portable one that I can embed in a phone.

Leigh,
That what we planned for cos we still have another two days off after :lol:

You go straight to my base after you finished_____/ and is just about time to put your hand on the Tamron 90mm DI micro lens :lol:

Posted: **Thu Mar 24, 2005 11:34 am**

Since the Film meet is incredibly outdated, it'll be happening on Easter Saturday, 1995.

If you have your time machine handy, it'll promise to be an exciting meet! We'll be discussing how we're all going to be replaced by digital cameras in 10 years!

Posted: **Thu Mar 24, 2005 11:35 am**

Huynhie,
We do it next week-end with 12:01 RRS BH55 meet :wink:

Yes... I'm still working on that one. It appears I need a better job... or some very hard drugs that I can't taint my bosses with and coerse them into giving me a raise... mwahahahaha...

Posted: **Thu Mar 24, 2005 11:40 am**

And please remmeber, these above early hour meets only for "real keen photogs" at 12:01am, 2:00am & 4:00am. :shock:

Thanks CD for making it true few weeks ago :wink:

You must be on a similar sleeping routine as the characters from "Men In Black" with 23 hour days, Birddog.

We will have few St Henri 95 and a XO Martell while waiting for the 2:00am macro meet.

Even the AA meeting is more worst! 48 hours non stop with day and night meets and dinners, talks, are scheduled for continuously 48 hours. :shock:

Bugger it then.

We have to merge a LAN game and the 12-4am meets, Birddog.

I couldn't agree more.
Nothing says I love you like a counter-terrorist unit firing assault rifles and throwing flashbangs at you!

We'd probably need to play some military flight sims and have Birddog beat every one of us...

Leigh,
We set up a game server and start practising now, can we?
Pls. tell me, PM me what do you need/ require so I can start up and you'll configure it so we will be in the game soon. :wink:

Most probably, I'll know that for sure tomorrow

Me.

If it goes ahead, does the VR club really start at 4am :?:

If so, then I will have to leave the Hotel at 3am on foot to get to your place on time :!:

On a serious note, Birddog probably requires numbers as usually his wife is gracious enough to supply lunch, as this is the Easter weekend there is possible no way that she can duck out and grab extra food if a few unannounced visitors arrive.

Hope you understand where he is comming from :wink:

Still trying to balance the many family commitments over Easter Birddog, Terri's birthday is Tuesday and it seems every member of her family wants to take her out individually

As soon as I have details will let you know.

Good to know! will you buy her a D2x for her birthday's present :?:

Posted: **Thu Mar 24, 2005 2:53 pm**

I will buy me D2X and put the D70 in the packet for her, she won't know the difference. :wink:

Even better, get her relatives to put in for it

I'll just make a Flash version of the D2x for myself. I'll never know the difference (I'll believe my own lies, provided I've drunk enough before I tell myself it...).

We could make a cardboard cut-out shell of a D2x and mount it over the D70 for her!

Better yet, we could take the cardboard cut-out version of the D2x to a Westfield!
