I'm a bad boy....

Well I found my early XMas present. Bought a R2A, Trigger winder, 40/1.4 with hood today off Ebay. Should have it next week.

Now to figure out how to pay for it. LOL!


Now I get to see what all the fuss is about with these RF that everyone seems to love. Just hope I didn't start another addiction......

Welcome Valder

Or shall we say Vader, now that you've succumb to the Dark Forces

Enjoy the kit, it is a good one.

Darrin-

If you're bad then I'm worse.

Instead of using the proceeds from the R2A kit sale to pay off toys I've already purchased, I'll instead by buying a ZI Planar 50/2!

I'm especially glad that my R2A found a home in the RFF community. The first guy that "bought" it wanted me to ship it Nigeria and then pay for it by check. Yeah, right. Mysteriously, when I told him I'd reported him to Ebay his day old account vanished. The email he sent me was actually kind of funny. He claimed to be an American from Virginia in England leading a "church program", who wanted me to send the "item" to his son who was studying computer science in Nigeria. Of course it was written in broken English.

Now on to ebaying my DSLR outfit to actually pay for the aforementioned toys...

Thanks again, Darrin!

John

Got it last night. Awesome little camera. Was quite surprised at how small it is.
One of the screws came loose on the trigger winder for the bottom camera strap
ring, but I'm getting that taken care of. Gonna run a roll through it this weekend.


Also found a like new Minolta 90/4 for it as well.
