Fundraiser Collection Update

[ray_g]

I thought it easiest to start a new thread.

As of this morning, the paypal balance is $1,689.57.

With the amount received by Popflash (how much is it now?) I think we have made it.

This has been a wonderful show of community, generosity, and most of all, appreciation. Great work!

Maybe we should just keep going and buy him a 15 Distagon as well.... 😀

I just skipped my LHS dues for the year, but quite honestly I think I've gotten more from this forum than the LHS. With the left over money I bought myself a new/used finder!

Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you all for your contributions. Our goal has been reached! We have enough to purchase a Zeiss RF camera and lens (likely a 35 judging from the poll). This idea may have originated from an individual, but it was made possible only through the support of a great number of members. RFF is an internet community of photographers interested in RF cameras, and more importantly, a community with a unique spirit of respect among its members. Our moderator, Back Alley Joe, deserves much of the credit for this, and we wish to thank him for making this RFF site a kind of sanctualry for us all.

Let's take a moment to revel in our accomplishment!

Thank you Frank, Ray, Tony and the mysterious (to me) benefactor, for helping us start the year on a good deed!

Frank thanks for organising the event.

Now that he has a Zeiss, lets all start tempting Joe to sell his Canon gear!
