Well, the fact is that I have to go to Paris sometime during June to see a
friend who lives in Venezuela but is visiting la France eternelle next
month. The place I will be staying is St. Remy lès Chevreuse, which is not
very far from Bièvre. But I doubt I will make it in time for the Photo Fair.
Probably later, in which case I'll let you know, Ding, perhaps we can meet.

Geoff, that's more or less the setup that I also use. If I see a Goerz Tenax
somewhere I'll let you know. I have a Goerz Ango with a Dogmar lens, but
it's a very different camera.
