Anybody going on the weekend. Is it worth organising a get together?

photokina 2006 we had a get together on the Leica stand and met in the evening in a restaurant not too far away from the Cologne fair.

If you know when you come to Cologne please tell us (German members, moderators and me) - per haps we can organize an international mini meeting.

Best regards from Bonn

I attended on that occasion, and it was enjoyable meeting the local enthusiasts for dinner.

(In fact my Lieca driver, Wolfgang, dropped Andreas home).

I am planning to be at Photokina again this year but this time I am not going to stay quite as far away, if I can get nearer accommodation (left it too late in 2006). Not sure of my dates yet.

What are your thoughts on the best day(s) to attend? Are major announcements likely to be on any particular day, for example.

I think, the best day should be Tuesday, September 23th. The first official day of the Photokina. Then the members of the exibitors are fresh and gently. At the weekend there are too many visitors for good meetings...

Thanks Robert, I'd certainly agree that going to exhibitions on a weekend is usually not a good idea.

I'll be there on the 25th (Thursday) - day trip only.

Obviously the first day. Then you'll be first to handle the all new P Range SLR c/w full AF lens system. P stands for 'Pro'.

Please write a review for us.

I usually avoid day one at exhibitions because of the first day crowds, likewise weekends for a similar reason, so I suppose that means Wednesday, Thursday or Friday if I decide to go.
I'm sure someone from the forum will be there at the opening though, to report on 'the news as it happens'

Perhaps Leica will put out a press release immediately before the show, giving us a hint of what, if any, announcements we might expect.
