[Leica] NYC Photo Plus Expo Photo Gallery--27 Images

[jshul at comcast.net (Jim Shulman)]

It's FREE if you register by Oct 15th or so.  The $50 fee is to discourage
curiosity-seeking people looking for a day's activity.  My guess is that
they instituted the fee to keep the crowd qualified, which brings back the
vendors.

They seem to want 50 bucks for 3 days and no one day thing.
If it included a ride over there in a Town car I'd think about it.
