Toronto Camera Show Jan 25th

[naeroscatu]

Just to remind folks interested that a new Camera Show is scheduled for Jan 25th at the Thornhill Community Center (Bayview & John Str). I'm not involved in the organization of this or selling anything but will go to look around. Cheers

Thanks for the reminder, it will all depend on the amount of cash I have in the wallet.

I may go. The last shows prices seem very high to me.

I'm planning on going. The prices where high last time (as usual), but I got a few deals. Mainly looking for a larger darkroom easel and enlarging lens this time.

Went to the show.
There was a lot less people there than usual, but I got what I wanted: an El-Nikkor 75mm f4 enlarging lens.
There wasn't really that much gear, and what was there was outrageously priced as usual. I guess these guys haven't heard of Ebay.
The one great find there (for me, anyway) was Rollei Retro 100 35mm and lucky 120 film, which I'm going to try. Usually, that show is not good for film; you have to go to the big one for that.

I bought some of that film too. I usually only shoot Ilford, but thought it might be interesting. Everything I've read about the Lucky SHD 100 says it's not very good. The Massive Development Chart has the same times listed no matter what speed you shoot it at. (?) I still have to find development times for the Rollei Retro 100 I bought. I will probably use HC110 or DDX.
You're right though, some of the prices were high. I found this at the last show too. I got a few small things that I really didn't need. There seemed to be fewer tables aswell.

i'm happy with my purchases, too

[Jeff L]

The "big one" might be the one in March (29th?).
