[Leica] NYC Photo Plus Expo Photo Gallery--27 Images

They seem to want 50 bucks for 3 days and no one day thing.
If it included a ride over there in a Town car I'd think about it.

> 
>  
> 
> Fuji was completely absent-no film, no digital, no preview of nifty new
> digital M-like camera, nada.  Strange.
> 
>  
> 
> Kodak was handing out rolls of Tri-X in 35mm and 120.  It's a little like a
> buggy whip manufacturer handing out samples at the 1915 auto show (though I
> did stock up some 120 for my horse-drawn Minolta Autocord).  And why were
> all those people with digicams taking the film samples-is this akin to bald
> men stealing the hotel shampoo bottles?
> 
>  
> 
> I saw some folks trying out the S2 at the Leica booth.  When I grabbed a
> picture, a Leica rep said, "That sounds like an M camera shutter!"
> 
>  
> 
> There were a few film shooters on the floor, though my camera was a point 
> of
> curiosity akin to an albino zebra on parade.
> 
>  
> 
> Tried out a few Zeiss/Cosima lenses at the show, in particular the 21/4.5
> (which Tom A. raved about, and I now concur) and the 85/4 (which is a 
> really
> nice lens).  Shot some images (not included in the gallery) with these
> lenses at about 1/15 second wide open aperture.
