it pays to have a mayberry mail man! just to be cruel cause i can...mine is on the tripod ready for some light photons to pass through it! just a bit more time to allow the sluggish dec. sun to rise out from around the other side of the world......
remember everyone....be home so you can sign for it:) :)
enjoy.
Re: Chamonix 45N-1 Order Shipped
"Despatch from Sorting Center" means it's left HANGZHOU and is on its way. For me, it took about 2 days to get to the US once it left HANGZHOU.
Re: Chamonix 45N-1 Order Shipped
okay! its first mount. first snow. and first shot of the two of us.
my wife looked at the camera this morning. her comment was "is that an 8x10?" i sad no, 4x5. she said the 4x5 were light and she thought i was gettingthe 8x10 cause it would save alot of weight........:eek:

Mine says the same. Parcel Force site states that they are aware of it. I'm guessing that they will have to do a customs inspection and charge, so that may hold things up a bit?
Re: Chamonix 45N-1 Order Shipped
Eddie-- looks like you've been standing in the snow, waiting for the sun to come up. Tell your wife, you really want to save weight and need a 12 x 20. :)

I'm resigned to not get it before Christmas. Once it arrives in the UK it will be atleast a day in customs and then forwarding to your local ParcelForce office. Then you'll have to wait for a letter from ParcelForce to tell you how much to pay before picking it up. My only hope is that it arrives at my local parcelforce and I can go and claim it before I get their letter... :-(
Re: Chamonix 45N-1 Order Shipped
Eddie,
That tripod is really for a Chamonix ULF camera.:)
Barry,
Your camera has not arrived, I beg for another poem, PLEASE!
Rick,
Seriously, you were joking about a little brother for your Chamonix 8x20, right? How could you possibly look at the tiny 4x5 negatives again?
Everybody,
I have learned and still am learning a lot from the people in this forum and this is my little payback to all the kindness and friendship I get from your guys. I am with you in that slow wait and now joy.
The current batch of 45N-1 cameras is all gone. The next batch is July 2008. Yes, we will make some holders and other accessaries for this camera later next year.
I expect all of you will receive your camera this week or early next week latest. Your camera has 60 day warrenty and life time parts replacement. PM me for any question.
I am jumping on a plane tomorrow morning for Beijing to visit my aging parents in a nortehrn coast city in China. I will be back to California in two weeks. Before I go, I want to say a big THANK YOU and wish everybody A VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY!
Hugo
Re: Chamonix 45N-1 Order Shipped
Hugo, thank you for sorting this order and bringing much joy to so many people around the world. I know its nothing like solving world hunger, war or poverty, but it's definately a ray of sunshine in my little life. Many thanks and have a great trip...
Re: Chamonix 45N-1 Order Shipped
Thanks Hugo and back at you.
happy holidays.
best wishes to you and your family!
eddie
ps. the tripod is for all those other heavy cameras that are now on there way to the chopping block:) .
Re: Chamonix 45N-1 Order Shipped
Still in Haining. Kinda dissapointed, as im heading out on a trip starting on boxing day, and wont be back for 2 weeks.
Hope they dont send it back to China when im not there to recieve it.
On a related note, last year i got an antique scroll from China and it was sent EMS at Christmas, got it in 3 days. Not sure what the hold up is this time.
