Hi, I'm considering coming to the mini meet for the first time tommorow with a friend, both of us bought a D70 recently.

Just a question, can we drop in any time and meet a few Pros and learn how to clean my CCD (I got a huge hair like dust on my 2 wks old D70s :( )? or do we need to show up and 8am ? Cos its pretty hard for me to get up that early on a weekend

As huynhie mentioned,
The earlier you can is the better, normally the CCD cleaning is aroung 9:00-10.00.
Put yourself to bed at 8:00pm tonight and you'll be right to show up at the mini meet at 8:00 :lol:

It is a cash and carry place. Plastic is not welcome, what is plastic anyway?
