The last 4 months have been pretty rough.
I am just a spoiled little boy who is really impatient.

It'll probably come tomorrow, but at least you can go shooting right away. I'm assembling my LF kit from scratch and I'm still waiting for my lenses/boards/film. I've got the nice ebay lady who complained about the long trip to the UPS store and *still* hasn't sent my 150mm. Plus the nice gentleman who I paid to ship UPS and he shipped USPS. I'm sure I'll receive everything just as soon as I'm back at work.I'm still enjoying fooling around with the Chamonix. Maybe I'll just make a pinhole.
Barry, it may be a bit more expensive, but have you tried looking at KEH for some of your camera accessories/equipment? They have a pretty good stock of all kinds of things, I've never had any problems with them, I've ordered everything from lens caps to camera bodies from them: 35mm, medium format, and large format.

Yah, I've used KEH before and those guys are great, but I was trying to snag some bargains. I've done pretty well on ebay before, but that was a couple of years ago and it seems flakier these days. I think I'll get my stuff, just a little later.
... And it's yet another day in HANGZHOU for the UK ones ...
It's incredible!
I didn't order one but have been vicariously enjoying the excitement/tension of this thread since Hugo posted the notice of mailing almost 7 days ago. It's been like one of the Saturday matinee serials waiting to see the next installment to see who got theirs and when ... now you guys are up to 20 pages!
The ironic thing is that davidb was the first poster after Hugo's notice on the 14th and he still doesn't have his.
The suspense is killing me ... will he get his before the UK buyers do?
I hope you guys will post some photos (of and by the cameras) and that someone will bring one to the June conference in Colorado.
Still....

I hope nothing has happened to these, I'm starting to get a little worried. I've bought quite a few things internationally and always the tracking info has been pretty reliable.

Jim,
the suspense is killing me too. still no sign of it. honestly, it has been a lot of fun watching this thread.
and I will post some photos when the camera arrives. mine is a bit different from everyone else's so I am a bit anxious to get it.
yeah! we see it is different.....it has NOT arrived! (evil laughter in the background)
looks like you UK boys are getting screwed. maybe you should have sent it to me and i could send it on to you.....would have been faster!
i have had mine since the 18th! it is getting dusty, scratched, and beginning to wear from all the use! LOL![]()
