I can't believe no one else on the LUG has pictures of the Fair. Living in NYC at the time, I went to the Fair repeatedly for the two years it was open and shot more rolls of film than I care to remember, mostly K25 and Ektachrome 160 Tungsten. My cameras were most likely my Retina IIIc and my Pentax Spotmatic. Here's an album with a sampling of six - all handheld as I recall. I can probably be induced to post a few more if there's interest. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/rtaylor/PICKS/1964+WORLDS+FAIR/ or http://tinyurl.com/ayfwzb Enjoy! Happy Spring!
