Hi Birddog
I'm a new member and am interested in your Sydney mini meet especially in regards to cleaning ccd's. Where do I get the details of the meet eg address etc? I'm from Wollongong and could perhaps make some of the mini meet.
Kind regards

Have fun guys - JoeT if you're going (I assume you are cos you're always at the mini meets), document the meet so I can 'be there'!
Petermmc, hopefully Birddog will have PM'ed you the details by now. I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself. Great bunch of people there.

Won't be there this weekend or next  . Cooking for a friend's 60th birthday party tomorrow and next Saturday I'm on a camera field trip in Newcastle somewhere (as part of a beginners course I'm doing)
Hope to be there on 12th March since the weekend after is Jenolan (I think). Birddog I'll get the filter you have for me on 12th if that's OK.

No problem!  No pre-order of 200-400VR?

Hey I've got to start doing weight lifting lessons to carry the 70-200. Besides I feel inadequate enough when I look at the 70-200

Just realised that as well as the meet on the 12th I'm in Sydney on the 13th too (tall ships). At this rate I'll need to move down there

I'll be there, but I might be a little later than usual as the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is on at 11:30pm tonight...
Looking forward to playing with a few L-brackets, quick releases and heads  Oh.. And lenses...
Not sure if I'll be bringing much money with me yet, but I definitely want to buy one of those bubble spirit level things...

Hope you're all having fun at the best camera shop in the southern hemisphere!
Cheers,
Geoff.
