Ricoh London Meetup

[VladimirV]

I think it would be fun to have a Ricoh meetup. I will try to organize a meetup before Photokina on the Saturday of the 13th or 20th September. This gives the opportunity to collect some feedback that could be passed on to Ricoh at Photokina. The place is Camera Cafe near the British Museum from 1pm onwards. We can move to Oxford Street or Regents park to take some pictures afterwards or the British Museum if it rains. Please specify the preferred date if you're interested.

This invitation is also extended for people without Ricoh cameras but who are interested in Ricoh cameras.

Nice idea Cristian! I made this post sticky. Pity there is no chance for me to be in the London at that time. But there will definitely be organized an international (or at least European) RicohForum meeting and as I hope, also with some Ricoh Europe guys. They are very interested in such kind of event and I'm sure, it would be nice and useful for all of us to meet together and discuss our favorite cameras directly with Ricoh officials. And of course, take some photos and drink some beers

Thanks for making it a sticky post Pavel!

A European Ricoh meetup would be great, especially if some people from Ricoh could attend. I am all up for it and will definitely try to be there.

Shame you can't be here but I hope we can meetup at some point. Let me know when you're in London next time and we meet for a coffee or some beers .

Hey I'll come along take some pics.

Happy to see that RD1 users are also welcome but i'll also bring along my "G" RD1

Available both weekends.

Since I will be there on both Saturdays, we can be flexible and can have the meetup on both days. Just pop-in and look for a Ricoh camera (or hopefully more than one Ricoh camera) .

Hi Pavel, the meet-up was great. A lot of fun and very interesting. The best was the walk through the museum since it allowed us to see how each one of us goes about taking pictures. The different approach of going about it and of course the different but also the similar results.

Here are my thoughts and two pictures but unfortunatelly none from the actual meet-up, need to ask one of the other guys for pictures.
