bring back the pony express

And a 85mm Jupiter-9 is on its way here as well, even though not from the FSU lands this time ;)

It's been a week and counting, you're right Rover, the race is on :D

Stu, if Sea Iguanas could arrive to the Galapagos via a floating log, just think what that Bessa-R can do ! :p
 
i can feel the love all the way here.

well, my b'day is about to end and there was no lens at my doorstep whan i got home.

the seller said he is seeing more & longer delays of shipments to canada.
i feel the need to blame someone but don't know who...

Rover, if your camera sends me a post card of one of Hawaii's sunny beaches "Saying wish you were here!" I'll forward it on :)

Taffer, yes but I sooner trust the drowning postal service worker and his faithful mount then a sea iguana floating around the ocean on a log. Plus the first living thing to show up on New Zealand shores by the "floating wood" method was us humans...

Stu :)
 
My Pony Express tale doesn't involve iguanas or Hawaii, but hey, if Hawaii is involved, I'll go look for your camera for you, lol. I called the store I use for my US shipping address yesterday to see if my latest goodies had arrived and lo and behold, after 3 months or so of thinking it was lost in the mail forever, my Zorki C has turned up sitting on a shelf in their back room. I think my Hyundai set a new land speed record for the 35 miles to the border. The Zorki seems to be in great shape, shutter , aperture etc. look/sound ok, now it's time to run some film thru the old feller (gal). The other assorted goodies (a Tower RF maybe a type 57?, a Voigtlander Vitoret D and a Closter?? C61) are not bad, but the Zorki sure made my day. Lately I seem to be hitting about 50 % working, and 50% dud cameras on E**Y so I've put the brakes on acquiring any more for a bit. Unless you count the Agfa and Kodak box cameras I picked up yard saling this morning. Time to go shoot a few pics, so everyone take care out there.
 
and yet, no lens.

it's been over a month since i sent my payment.
i now have 3 lenses on the way.
still waiting on a couple of series v filters.

i becoming despondent, sad and restless...where are my pills?

Well the USPS must have used sea horses or given those log faring sea iguanas GPS, because rover's camera arrived safe and sound today.

Got you lens yet Joe <poke poke poke>

Stu :)
 
Joe,
Have you considered that the Mailman is really an RF user and is checking out the equipment before delivering it?

How many Canadian Mailmen are members of the Forum?
 
brian,
you have no idea the twisted thoughts that have coursed through my tiny brain.
i have started to look at my neighbors with the greatest suspicion, heaven forbid i see one of them shooting with a ltm camera.

Actually since moving to Ontario, I find the postal service has only improved...unless it's a letter or parcel from an old friend in Montreal :)
