How many in first allotment?
Did not ask. But, Tony said there will be a few happy people this week BTW, I was #3 on the list. I gave my deposit a long time ago. He did say he was getting black and silver.

Jorge. Do you still have the 15mm Zeiss? I would love to see some samples from that combo.

Congrats Jorge, great news !
For those who haven't dealt with Tony Rose before, he is a prince to buy from, great customer service.

This could be good news -- I was once told I was #2 on the Popflash list, after sending off a check last summer...haven't heard anything from Tony, though. Tony? Tony?

I'm #17 and Tony responded last week that it would be "soon". No call as of today yet tho. I think Jorge was going to pick mine up for me. Right Jorge? I only live in Indiana - about 2000 miles from Arizona.
Please! Sniff, sniff....

My M5s need red dots!
Congratulations, Jorge! You're always in the forefront of things.
Now... I'm checking this forum on Saturday afternoon. You better have news by then!

I am hoping that his first allocation was 100 bodies, but I am not holding my breath. I am on the tail end of the list...

Mental note-
1. Find out who the driver is for Jorge's route on Saturday.
2. Find out how much cash is required for said driver to "lose" a package.
3. Weigh the amount of cash required against actual cost of buying and possible jail time.
4. Rinse and repeat.

The 15mm went back to its owner. All I can say is that lens is smoother than butter. I have never felt a Leica lens operate as smoothly as that Zeiss 15.
I thought I would go by an empty carnival and photograph some rides there Don't hold your breath. My pictures will be boring. I plan on updating the RFF M8 gallery this weekend if all goes well.

I am glad to hear that your M8 will be here for the weekend. Congratulations! No M8 for me at this time after buying the DMR and 3 lenses. Enjoy and all the best with it.
