Curious, is this a Tom A. question or a Stephen G. question?

Just had a confirmation from our engraver. The Rff Softie is a GO! He will probably have them done by Tuesday - baring unforseen Olympic Events of course.
E-mail Tuulikki or Stephen for ordering. Tuulikki has already collected orders from overseas. Shipping will begin as soon as they are in our hands.

Fresh from the engraver! The Rff Softie. Henley, the engraver/anodizer did a really good job on them. I think they are the best looking Softies for a long time. Part of the credit goes to Wayne Bremser for a good, clean design.
Later this year we will look at doing a couple of more of the designs, maybe in a different color - but right now it is a matter of packaging and shipping these.

I ordered two and they are on the way!
I just exchanged emails with Tuulikki. Ordered one for my M4-P.
Two Classics in the mail now. God and the Norwegian Mail Service willing, I'll hopefully have them in hand before Easter :D
Just got my order confirmation on my Black "RFF" softie...Will be mailed to me on Thursday....:D
Done and dusted last weekend :)
Will look good along with my Mr. B softies.
I have on regular and one mini on the way. Should be very cool!
Thanks again to Tom and team for making these a reality :)

Yes...
I sent Tom an e-mail to order 4 and asked for the total with shipping and Paypal fee’s.

Just an update, Tom told me to order directly from Stephen Gandy. So I sent an email to cameraquest with my request for two classic RFF softies. Hopefully it wont be too long before they are ready or can be shipped. I have been holding off buying one for my M4-2 to get one of the RFF copies.

The RFF softies are selling faster than expected, and the classics are selling faster than the Mini's.
So - order before the first run becomes a sold out collectible!
Tom has them at Rapidwinder.com. My shipment will arrive in a week or so from Tom, see http://cameraquest.com/voigtMSR.htm And Tony Rose at Popflash.com will also have a few available.
Only 99 of each size were produced world wide.

my 2 arrived today, very nice looking, indeed!
i have always used the minis but ordered the classic size this time and am surprised at how comfortable they are to use.

mine should be here tonight! I can't wait :)
Woohoo. They just came in. :cool:
As much as I like the design, I'd still prefer a silver field with black lettering for the chrome M's.
Maybe I should start shopping for a black paint M to match these rff softies.

That means I hold just over 3% of the stock in the whole world :D

Mine are in the mail as I type, probably be delivered by Sat...
Mine Arrived Today
"Rff" centers perfect !!
Well Done
I'm putting gaffers tape on mine to protect the investment (I have 2% of world stock). Or a Luigi leather soft release case.
LMAO! I actually took a black marking pen and blacked out the RFF logo. I don't want to attract attention on the street, now it's a stealth soft release. I own a combined 1.01% of the combined softie and mini-softie market.
All kidding aside, both of mine look great (arrived yesterday)! Thanks again for getting these made and shipped!
Kent
ps- Yes, I am kidding about the blacking out :)

expected mine today (shipped to me last Tues or Wed), but not here yet:confused:; Maybe tomorrow...
Mine arrived a couple of days back. The design is great and they're beautifully made. I too am new to using softies I see their advantages. However regardless of whether I use them in the long haul I'm glad to have them for their street cred alone.
Maybe we should come up with a secret handshake too? <g>
Mine (and Gil’s) have arrived in the Philippines... fast shipping, thank’s Tom.

My pair of Classics just arrived in today's mail. Beautiful!! Thanks Tom, Tuulikki and Mr. B! The Vancouver Winter Olympics postage stamps were a nice touch also!
Best Wishes!
