david, i'm not sure.
i asked the seller in my last email to him, but i guess it's about 4 in the morning (wed. a.m.) there, so a response might be a while in coming.

Excellent, Joe! I hope the P will arrive soon.

But hopefully not during the night. I hate having my sleep interrupted.

If I am woken up from a delivery of a camera, that would almost be like waking up from a dream playing with a camera and its actually in my hand! :D
I am waiting on a lens from Canada and today marks day 7 from when it was shipped....I hate waiting.... :(
Joe, I'll check the horizon and send you note when I can see it coming :D
Btw my own record was broken yesterday, the 50/1.5 Sonnar arrived in 4 days from the US ! :eek:
AND my own P is on the mail as well... the countdown begins !
Joe, I received a lens in the mail today -- an FSU Industar-50 collapsible. May that be the signal for the mail systems around the world to get those needed lenses and bodies delivered to you guys, pronto!!
Still awaiting delivery of a Zorki 3M ....

I have a J9 which was put in the mail from the Ukraine yesterday on its way to me. And I just sent a finder to Holland today. This is starting to look like a NASCAR event. Who will win?

yeah, it sure seems like an international speedway/mail system!
i just might have become a small town hick but i gotta say i love this internet stuff.
before the net, if my city didn't have something i was stuck. oh sure i could travel to another city and hope their camera store had what i was looking for or check the back pages of shutterbug mag but with ebay or just sites like this one the world has opened up tremendously.
i mean, a year ago i was hoping to get a bessa and a couple of lenses. since then, thru the power of internet communication, i have picked up 3 canon bodies and 5 canon lenses (a great book on canon), along with 3 pilot meters and a closet full of other smaller items.
ain't it wonnerful...?

Me too! I bid on two Watson bulk loaders the other day and someone out bid my $31.30. With $10.00 shipping costs, they didn't really get much of a bargain.
Last night I happened to stumble across two lots of Watson bulk loaders and ended up with FIVE of them for less than I was willing to pay for two just a day or so ago... postage included!

Is it just me, or is *everyone* here buying up Canon P's?
Dammit, I was thinking it was gonna be a relatively cheap way to get into LTM lenses! That won't be the case if you guys all want one!!!
grumble...mutter....yeah,...internet's great....mumble, mutter.....
Cheers,
Steve
