Hood and Caps

[Scamper]

Hi All,

I am into a test roll with my new Bessa R and my new lenses (j8 and I61). So far, I love the feel of the Bessa. People who complain about the build quality must have have had a chance to actually use one.

Quick quick question:

I need lens caps and hoods for my two lenses and the guy on ebay with the vented hoods no longer ships to the uk. Would have of my UK brothers have a lead for me?

If the J-8 and the I-61 are your new lenses, your signature is out of date (as of 11 Jun 07).

Oleg K. should have what you need: but shipping might cost a lot. Look in http://www.okvintagecamera.com.

Hank,
There is another guy on ebay: Heavystar
The link is for one particular auction but look at his other stuff as well. I've been a happy customer and use the hoods he sells on several of my FSU lenses.
Welcome aboard!

Heavystar refused to sell me a hood because it wouldn't be quite right. That says something.

I ordered the ones from Heavystar. Seems like he provides good service and even the classic camera shops around here didn't have what I needed.
