Just got a call from Tony at Popflash. He will have part of his first allocation this Friday. I have already given him my FedEx acct number so I can have it Saturday morning!!! yoohoo !!!!

Is there a raspberry smiley? 😛

Good to hear. Post samples *soon*!

 

[MP Guy]

Several more people should be getting the call as well 🙂

jorge, maybe we should have a 'staff' m8 for the mods to share. then we could do a 3 part review, from a user pov!!

just a thought...

How many in first allotment?

 

[MP Guy]

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.

Nice, you are on the A list.

 

[Chaser]

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

 

[ywenz]

Jorge, no pictures of store signs please. Not that you'll, but just saying..

 

[Flyfisher Tom]

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.... 🙁

 

[Jan Brittenson]

I wonder when the second allocation might show?

 

[SolaresLarrave]

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! 🙂

 

[StuartR]

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.

Hey Jorge! That's good news. Tony's great to deal with as you know. I bought 2 coded, ASPH lenses from Tony. Great guy to work with.

My M8 order is with Tamarkin. I certainly hope to he hearing from Eric soon.

We expect, no We DEMAND shots by Saturday😱

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.
