Congrats with your a la carte one beauty!..
And about the waiting...
When I bought mine, I delivered it to Hannover (it was german ebay), to my relatives... And then, I waited for about month, or evenn more... And now, when I'm quite happy with it, I'm on my way back home... I have already 5 rolls of shooted film in my backpack (I love to be "perfect" in my snaps, so I don't waist film)... When I arrive home, I will right some short little review of my new camera (hey-hho MP a la carte), and my super-duper vacation...
