Toronto Photography Meetup Group

Details:

What: Nikon Social
When: Monday August 9th 2010
Time: 7PM
Where: Tortilla Flats, Queen & Augusta Av.
Bring: Your Nikon Gear of course!!

Its time for another Nikon social -- its been quite a while! So here is your opportunity to come out and hang out with other Nikonites, bring your camera, lenses, and we will socialize, have some drinks, dinner, etc - and talk about all things Nikon!

edit: ok, so I decided ... we are going to Torilla Flats. Apparently Murphey's law is extremely unaccomodating. Such as tables can only remain in sets of 4, and can't move on the patio to make a long table, and they don't do reservations for larger groups, etc. Forget it... Tortilla Flats is a nice place, they have lots of room - hopefully its not too packed on a Friday night in the summer, and their menu is fairly ok. Service is not bad either.

DATE CHANGE -- I promise this is the last time

Err... are half breeds allowed to come? =)

what do you define as a half-breed? Ya, I don't see an issue with that.

haha Nikon lenses with a Canon body.

How on earth do you get those two to work in harmony??
Tell me at the social

I'm still a maybe right now because I never know what's going on I'll try to get a better confirmation closer to the event!

You can use Nikon lenses on a Canon body with an adapter -- but it will not work the opposite way around due to the focal distance of Canon lenses.

G lenses don't work either since they don't have an aperture ring.

May I suggest Vivoli's rooftop patio? Or Murphy's Law over by the beaches? Sorry I've been dying to get to a rooftop patio. =)

the July social will probably be at Murphey's law.... so maybe Vivoli's.

I haven't been to either so opinions are welcome.

Me neither, so would be interested to hear from anyone that has been to either of them.

I'm a bit noob,, But I'm a nikon user,, I wanna join this event... but my stuff are still beginners I kinda feel insecure =P

All level of gear is welcome! And one of the benefits is that you get to play with some of the bigger toys.

Don't go to Vivoli. Terrible service. Half our group ordered pizza, half ordered pasta. Those with pizza didn't get to eat for 45 minutes after the pasta came. 2 kitchens and no coordination.

Thanks Pam.... I'll look for something else. Anyone have any other suggestions for patio?

Paupers Pub? Rooftop patio but no view.

I'm guessing that Madison has been permanently knocked off our list?

There is also the Cadillac lounge, or that tex Mex place on QS.... Uhm, can't remember the name. We'll find something.

Nope.... I was there on Friday night. They were ok.

There's also Hemingway's in Yorkville and the Drake Hotel for the rooftop patio.

Cadillac Lounge is always a good choice for both food and service and Murphy's Law is also awesome as it is right down the street from me

you've got some expensive taste :p though i do like the drake.

Ok, update the info - Tortilla Flats is the place. I'll give them a shout to see if we can make a reservation.

Good enough for me! And close to work too! =)

Works for me as well. See you guys there.

Don't eat the curry burrito with cheese!

Hemingways in Yorkville is a great place - the rooftop patio is great - and while its been a couple of years since i've been there - I do recall its never been expensive - very reasonably priced!

since it ended up being in a decent location for me to get to i'll try and make it out.

Hey Julian, sounds good -- I am pretty sure that the patio is on the same level as the street -so accessibility shouldn't be an issue.

Sounds like a chill event; will be there.

yea i've been to the place a few times i know its alright
