Leica is usually very well represented, and some times you can get quite a good deal (usually toward the end of the second day). It is also a good place to check on Leica related goods, not always easily found at your neighborhood camera store, such as the Jupiter lenses, or even the Cosina Voigtlander lenses. Good education that helps follow some of the threads on the LUG, especially when Marc James Small displays his erudition and expertise. I was there last Saturday and here are some photos. This one is my favorite, of someone intensely studying a lens: http://www.pbase.com/image/6512240 and here's are a couple of alternates: 1st alternate: http://www.pbase.com/image/6512242 2nd alternate: http://www.pbase.com/image/6512247 Comments and especially criticisms, even strokes :-) are welcome and appreciated. Other photos from Photographica can be seen at: http://www.pbase.com/phong/photographica You may also recognize Sherry Krauter, complete with Leica shirt and bell buckle in one of the photo. I missed a shot of a camera buff walking around with a stereo camera he built himself out of 2 Pentax SLR cameras. All photos are from a digital Canon with a 50mm 1.4 lens, except the 2nd alternate, which is from a wide-angle lens borrowed from the dealer in the photo.
