Great to see the pictures of this meeting, and looking forward to see (much) more.

Leo, do I see a Leica M3 with a 90 mm (or other long-ish) lens on it?

And Bob, that "gold" Contax looks nice, great stuff for the film challenge.

Simon, I especially like your AA B&W's as well as the staircases. Only in 11 you have to clone out two annoying dust bunnies (left top) but after that they're perfect.

Damn and blast! Missed them! My own fault for getting excited and trying to process all the pics after midnight once Mrs T had hit the hay. Those two are my favourites too, I had to loiter around that book stand for a few minutes awaiting the right people to approach it. I think the cashiers were ready to kick me out for taking pics so grabbed and ran. The one from above just fell out nicely.

Looking forward to seeing everyone else's pics. Bob, Leo and Jet, I trust you had a good day today around London - beautiful weather for a stroll.

Safe trip Jet, great to see you again and glad to here you had a good weekend.

Excellent series Simon - although cheeky stealing that staircase shot before the other ten of us have a chance to post our versions

I do particularly like #2 and #9 and the spiral staircase.

And a couple of quick shots on the laptop to return the favour
(or in ship terms, I'm returning the shot that came whistling over my bows)
(think I managed several candids of every person in the group )

1. This is the matching pair to your #7



2. This is the matching shot for #11
