It’s EXPO!

EXPO 2008

It’s Expo here at Roberts. Well, today and tomorrow anyway. Our sales floor is busy busy buzzing with activity and darn near everybody is down there. The list of manufacturers with representatives 10 feet below me as we speak is over 30 now. We’ve converted many of our sales displays downstairs, draped them in brightly colored cloths and buried them under Canon digital SLR cameras, PowerShot digital cameras, Nikon digital SLR cameras, a rainbow of Nikon Coolpix Cameras, and Sony digital cameras of all sorts.

Olympus is down there, and I had to stop and chat with them and try some of their f2 constant glass on my E-3 Olympus digital camera. And, bonus for you guys: they’ve loaned me a 1050SW so we can make a Raw Footage showing you just what sets the SW line apart from others.

If you’re eyeing any camera tripods (Bogen Manfrotto tripods, sturdy Induro tripods, the niftiness that are the Trek-Tech Trekpods, you name it) you’ll find the best help in the area.

Mac Group is down there with popular digital camera accessories, including Sekonic light meters, PocketWizards, and the ColorMunki (which I use for my own laptop’s color calibration.)

Professional studio lighting more your cuppa (you can keep it, my current cuppa is a nice mellow Juan Valdez Colina), Profoto and Elinchrom are down there, as is Lastolite for you lighting accessory needs.

And video! I almost forgot our Canon video rep is down there next to a case full of shiny HD camcorders and a few odd professional camcorders.

Bottom line, if you’re in the Indy are– heck, central Indiana period– and you aren’t here, well…THEN YOU’RE IN LUCK! We’re doing it again tomorrow. Don’t miss out.
