Dear Raid. It was a joke.

Hi Raid,
I don't know who that Frank character is, but I wasn't joking. Anybody can get a Noctilux or a Full-frame-Extra-extra-low-noise-Image-stabilized-custom-programmed-thing-a-ma-giggy, but who can say they have a lens from Master craftsman B. Sweeney? We're collectors! No one has to know that yours was less modified than the Nikon ones....I mean, I don't know if it was......Anyways, your lens is rare and it works great. Too bad about the super rare lens cloth though......;)
 
Mike has the one and only BS Monogrammed Lens Cloth!

I was going to include one with Raid's, but at the last moment of packing it- I sneezed.

Well, Mike, do you have a one-of-a-kind lens such as the Brian Sweeney Luxon 50mm/2 in LTM ? :D Now this lens is really arre.

Still, Brian seems to sneeze whenever he wraps up a lens for me, and then does not feel like sending me his "used" monogammed lens cloth! :bang:

I also have a J-3 that was somehow put together by Brian. :)


Cheers,
Raid

Brian,
How could you!!!!

I bought a Brian Sweeny modifyed lens,(103 Helios) 2nd hand from a Nikon RF shooter in Portigal ,who did package it very well ,but he kept the BS lens cloth for himself. What he did not think about, was that all BS lens cloths come with a watermarked serial number , which matches the lens serial number, and his lens cloth is now a piece of worthless BS.
 
Yikes! It made it all the way around the world without the BS cloth!

How did the lens perform for you? That was the first one that I modified.
 
Brian , I like the lens very much, especially wide open and up close. I found the focus to be right on, no BS lens cloth though, can you use a 3rd party cloth instead?
