NikonGear Revival GetTogether September2015

[Frank Fremerey]

A pity I can not attend. I have to take care of my kids, wife at work, son at school. And even if the son would stay at a friend's house I do not see how my lively 4 year old daughter would fit into this event.

Online sometimes leads to misconceptions and misunderstandings that are easily sorted out in a personal meetup.

So see you in Scotland then.

Have a great time!

[Bjørn Rørslett]

See you next time around, Frank

Andrew, our Polish friend of long standing, probably brings his 100/1.6 Heligon to the event as well, so we are creating a true Heligon hot spot !! Andrew's 100/1.6 is to receive a dedicated CPU that now is ready and just waiting to be grafted onto his lens.

[John Geerts]

John: I was talking about adding a CPU to the lens to make it function with light metering etc. on your Nikon(s).

Yes perfect. That is a very good idea.

[Erik Lund]

The rear element of the 100mm 1.6 is quite large... so if modified for infinity there is not much room for a CPU contact block...

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Actually there is no conflict as the CPU is for "F" mount cameras and these will not allow infinity focus with the 100/1.6 anyway ....

As close as 'infinity as possible' modified will not work for a Nikon F mount version  The one I had could not be Chipped... It was customized for portrait work, there is simply no room for a CPU block. The one for JA can of course be chipped, but as a close up lens only...
Put the CPU on a ring and your good, yes. But then only close up.

The weather-forecast for next weekend is very optimistic with lots of sun and foggy mornings

Hi Andrew,

As you can see in the link that Erik already posted, the hotel is called "Bierhäusle", the address is Breisgauerstr. 41, 79110 Freiburg-Lehen. It's about 4 km away from Freiburg Central Station.
Google Maps tells me that from the station you can take tram 1 (direction Freiburg Moosweiher) until stop "Paduaallee" and then walk 450m to the hotel:

See you Friday!

Hey everyone, Jakov and I made a list of things/places we'd like to see during our stay in Freiburg.
I've created a google map for you to check it out (hope the link works...):

Ha looks perfect !!

What might be very interesting, for a number of reasons, and as it is close to Friburg, is Kaiser-stuhl.   Some details can be found here:   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiserstuhl_%28Baden-W%C3%BCrttemberg%29
