Yes; I plan on going as well. I'm in need of a few odds and ends to get a Frankensteined Zorki up & running, and want to get some winter projects while I'm at it.

Sure I'm going!
It's gonna be great fun again and I have a list prepared:
FED NKVD clean top plate
Zenit Start cartridges
FED 100mm and 28mm finders (yeah right, as if I'll ever find those)
Scratched A36 filter to craft an Elmar lens hood from
I look forward to scouring the fair and meeting fellow RFF members!

A 'definite maybe' from me - I'll know nearer the time as it depends on the work schedule.

Yep I'll be there.
I need some lens caps.
Won't be buying anything dear though, I'm trying to save up for any GAS attack's after I've bought the NEX 7.
I'm trying to rationalise my inventory by buying more gear.
So I can categorise it easier

Not sure I'll be buying anything. The Ciney Militaria Fair is the week before so I'll probably be broke anyway

Still in the works, need to ask my friend Kenny if he's interested in coming along again.
Ciney Militaria Fair didn't turn out to be as expensive as expected. So got some spending cash left over for this one

I think I am going. I'm in Amsterdam for work for the next 3 weeks. Not looking to buy some stuff though, just browse around :-P
But in case I am looking for something specific, am I better off arriving early (shortly after 11am)?

Maybe I'll go. Last time I was there must've been 5 years ago. Only thing I bought then was a Leica strap...
If I don't sell the black/nickel Leica II Elmar shortly, I won't buy more now  |

Fellow RFF-er Derk/Penny Lane and me will be there, my son Jonah will accompany us!
I'll wear the black hat in my avatar.
From the short 'wanted' list in the earlier post I can cross out the FED 100mm finder: I found one with a lens online! Anyone wanna buy the FED 100mm I already had? We can exchange at the Fair!

Let's see... Changed the glow-plugs, battery checked, repaired the heating system (hey, it's november!), oil, coolant and hydraulics fluid are up to level... All I need is a full tank of diesel fuel and we should be all set to go
Wait, a shopping list, that would be a smart move!
Johan, is that FED 100mm calibrated to Leica standard or pre-war FED (as far as that's a standard)?

Derk,
It's uncoupled and as a result any camera can handle it! There's an ad for it in the classifieds, I'll drop to EUR 60 for it!

Unfortunately I have to go back to the UK unexpectedly to visit a sick relative and will be away over next weekend - so I miss it again.

Indeed, no problem for the RF, but when your flange-to-film calibration is off by .3mm you might get a nice soft-focus portrait lens So is it Leica's 28.8 or pre-war FED's 28.5ish mm?

Yep I'll go. You'll recognize this old grey man wearing a M2 button rewind and may be some other stuff.....
or should I wear a DIY RFF button?
btw I have asked Penzes to come with me (he lives in The Hague) but 'unfortunately' he is in Venice that weekend
Ok then, having a beer at 16.00 (by then all the traders & vendors will start packing their stuff)?

Beer sounds fine (always does, right?)

Still going, I'll see about wearing my Red Leica or Al Kaplan "Silver is Better" shirt.
Unfortunately my spending cash has evaporated. So I'll be hunting for bargains.

I'll probably have a look around too. M3 with a collapsible Cron. In a Thinktank Retrospective 5.

Still not sure if I'll be able to make it.
Bit of a flu.
If I manage to get there , I'll wear a Red Point jacket .
And probably my M2 or Rolleiflex.
And a silly grin of course.
