God willing I shall be there. Planning on bringing my M2 cos I don't have an LTM.

 

Hi Jim, you can borrow my IIIa for the day if you want to give one a try, I only have the Summar lens spare to go with it which is low on contrast but gives a nice vintage look. Let me know and I will throw it in the bag with my other gear.

Still not certain I can make it (no LTMs either), but is there a time/location to gather on site?

Hi Graham, 

theres a cafe in the entrance to the museum where people can meet up before going in, like Pete I will be getting there about 11am ( all Leica’s welcome not just LTM’s ). Hope you can make it.

By the way, in case anyone's not familiar with the Black Country Living Museum, it's not just a dusty old building full of glass cabinets containing eccentric articles and haughty, long-winded explanations, it's a large estate containing a 'live' village from Victorian(?) times that are staffed by knowledgeable and friendly people in period dress.  Some scenes from the Peaky Blinders series' were filmed there and they hold exhibitions of how chains used to me made in their working foundry amongst other things.

I intend to wear clothing that will blend into the place (weather permitting) and I 'challenge' others to do likewise because I think it'll add to the day for us. 😄  A few Barnack cameras will certainly be in keeping with the general ambience of the museum.

Pete.

Just be ready to answer lots of "silly" questions from other visitors who might mistake you for staff/volunteers :D
