Anyone planning to go to Bièvres this year?
I decided yesterday to go there. Missed that event for several years. This year, I will be there again.

First weekend in June.
Was there last time in 2002, guess I will notice some differences.
Anyway, I'm sure, it will be fun.

I was there and it was great!
Just back and I must say, I enjoyed that weekend at the camera fair. A lot of interesting stuff. many nice people (and a few well-known not so nice ones). Will go there next year again!

And I bought way to much stuff!
21 lenses!
Among them two Canon FL 1,2/55mm. In total, I saw around 10 1:1,2 lenses. Mostly Canon , but some Nikkor, too. But I did not check deeply the stalls with more modern stuff, so there will be several more, I did not see.
Found a new big Iscorama, pretty used C/Y 1,4/85 and 2,8/60 and lots of small lenses, like EL Nikkors, Tomion, Apo Rodagon, Noflexar, Componon, Focotar, Isogon, and some bigger ones, like Grandagon, Claron, Tomion...

Bievres is great for antique stuff, too. You can see cameras, pictures, stereo stuff..., you can hardly find at other places.

Here some shots, I took.

Cropped, but otherwise unedited.

Klaus

Both....


But some prices are really spoiled by the Chinese buyers. You know the Trioplan level at Ebay. But this fair is so big and there are so many different sellers, there is always the chance to find a bargain, like that brandnew Iscorama-Anamorphot 1,5x-54 MC for 80 Euro. I picked it out of a box with Schneider-Kreuznach largeformat lenses.

Anyway, this fair is an event, one should have seen.
I will be there for the 49th camera fair, next year. 2. + 3. June, 2012.

One item, I missed:




Saw it, thought about buying it, returned and it was sold. But a friend got it, so it is ok.
