aaargh! my order was canceled!

[stet]

Adorama just sent me an e-mail canceling my Rapid Omega 200 order. They said they found a problem with it. I knew it was too good to be true at $159. Man, I was so looking forward to shooting MF next weekend. I have my heart set on this camera, but after three times getting denied (twice on the bay), maybe it's not meant to be.

:bang:

Sorry about your loss.

If you don't already have an investment in that line, consider some of the other 6x7 camera systems.

sorry for the hysteria -- bad morning already. I somehow exposed a roll to light while processing at home, which has been more miss than hit in this heat.

The e-mail from adorama just said it my order was canceled, but when I talked to customer service, they were pretty cool about getting the camera and explaining to me what was wrong with it. Shutter blades sticking a little, and they're already at the engineers getting fixed, and the glass on the rangefinder broke, maybe in the warehouse he said, and I should expect to hear from them in a couple days about whether it can ship like the ad said or I can opt for as-is at a discount.

I hope it's just a matter of waiting a little longer. I was really looking forward to using it this weekend, but maybe my girlfriend and I will just get more practice unspooling 120 film onto 620 spools, for our new project with a Brownie Hawkeye. MF, however we can get it.

apologies,
Mr. Spazz
