New NJ Camera Show

<p>The Second Sunday Camera Show in NJ ended a few months ago. Yesterday many of the same sellers and buyers met at a show in Hasbrouck Heights, also in northern NJ. It was nice to see the familiar faces. I saw some interesting items and bought a few too. The first item that caught my eye was a Canon L D focusing screen for the F-1 and F-1n. It's brighter than the standard D (grid type) screen. This one was new old stock so I added it to my collection. The next item was an Olympus OMG. It goes with my unorthodox collection of Olympus OM bodies which includes three OM-10s, an OM PC and two OM2000s. I guess I'm more interested in the Zuiko lenses than the bodies. Eventually I will get a body with interchangeable screens so I have something more suitable for use with a bellows. The next item was the February 1966 issue of Modern Photography. I saved the most interesting piece for last. It's a 45/2.8 GN Nikkor in beautiful condition (no shade). I already had the C version of this lens but the C version has a seven aperture blades. The earlier model has nine blades and is supposed to have better out of focus rendition at certain aperture settings and in certain situations. It's attached to a black Nikkormat FT2 with a roll of CVS (Fuji) 200 color print film inside. I will try to take some more test shots today. </p>

<p>Will this be a regular event and do they have a website? A Google search shows nothing.</p>

<p>They gave me a card with the following: New York - New Jersey Camera Shows Stan Vogel PHONE 732-657-4225, CELL 954-224-2327. I heard two different things about future possible shows: The next show may be in the same general ares of NJ but at a different hotel and the next show or some future show may be in New York (Manhattan). There is no e-mail address or website information on the card. On the front of the card mailed to me with the show information there is this information: NY/NJ Camera Shows, Inc LLC 861A Winshester Court Manchester, NJ 08759. </p>

<p>I wish I had known about the new show. If it was at the Holiday Inn, I live about 150 feet behind it!</p>

<p>edit- I found the website- nynjcamerashows.com but it only had a flyer advertising a show they did May 19 in Totowa NJ at another Holiday Inn. The site states they are trying to bring back the NJ camera show and want vendors.</p>

<p>If you also go to <a href="http://www.showsandexpos.com">www.showsandexpos.com</a> which are the guys that did the Second Sunday Camera Shows, it shows they are now doing a CD/Records show at the location in Wayne on the second sunday of the month.<br />They have a link to add your name to keep advised as to when the next camera show will be and where. They show none scheduled at this time.</p>
