North Island APUGers

[freespirit67]

Hi Guys, I just joined today, I'm a Brit (sorry) but I live here in Wellington with my partner, so if anyone fancies meeting up, I'd be very keen.

BTW anyone know where I might get a DB lens converted to Copal shutter?
Cheers

Hi freespirit76 (sorry, I don't know your name), welcome from Hawaii. Glad you joined up. I haven't made my way to Wellington yet, but may do so someday.

Thank you! Yep you should make NZ one of your places to visit, it's stunning!

Oh, I've been to New Zealand. Just not Wellington. My last trip was in 2005, I spent time around Queenstown and Mt Cook on the South Island, and the Bay of Islands on the North Island.

Hi Freespirit......I'm in Wellington, there's a few of us on the forum. Most don't seem to be very active, I haven't been online for a few months.

What part of Wellington are you?

I think you'll have to do the lens conversion yourself, buy the bits on the net. I sold my Sinar P 8x10 last year, there aren't that many users over here and even less as time goes by.

I'm in Seatoun, you? Yes people seem to be selling there gear left, right and center, and I seem to be the idiot buying it all! :rolleyes:

Still as long as there's developer around I should be OK!

nope! was that all about then?
I was up near titahi bay on Saturday, not able to do much photography right now though because of a bad back, I can't even bend down to focus! But at least I found this site while bored recovering at home in bed, so it's got an upside I guess!

I've been spending a heap of time at a cinematography website lately - but am still keen if there is ever an APUG NZ meetup ... (I'm in AK, nearish Sean)
