The next Meet-up:
When: Saturday, May 5, 9:30 AM
Where: Tingley Beach Cafe (map)
Who: Veteran film users and anyone looking to get started in film photography.
The cafe snack bar does not open until about 10:30, but the cafe building is open early in the morning. There is ample chair-and-table seating which is separate from the snack bar. Attendees at the meet-up are welcome to bring their own drinks and food. There is some parking near the Cafe building and more a bit further to the north, as well as back-up parking beyond the last duck pond to the north.
At the April Meet-Up Becky and Andrew mentioned some innovative solutions to using cameras designed for discontinued film formats such as 127, 828, 620, 110, etc. Perhaps we can continue that conversation with more details and some demonstrations. So, the theme for this Meet-Up is:
ADOPT AN ORPHAN ( film camera format )
Try to keep demos down to five minutes or so to let everyone get a chance to weigh in and so we have time to get to other topics as well. If you have a favorite camera using a discontinued format, bring it along. Show us some pictures made with your orphan format camera.
As in the previous meet-up there will be a drawing for a free classic camera.

unfortunately I'll have to miss the next meet up, So will bring the little clickers I promised to the June get together.
Have fun, and hope you have a big turnout!
Sorry to hear you won't be there for the May meet. I thought it would help with planning to have a set monthly schedule, but that doesn't guarantee that it will always work. I am scouting possible meet-up sites and will report back on that when I have some pinned down.
