Hopefully, you double boxed it and stuffed it with bubble wrap fill.

[darkkavenger]

way to go, Frank

And lots of styrofoam "peanuts"!

I hate sending things off.

I still have Wardair and Canadian points---Nordair didn't have 'em though they were cheap.

it is packed well, yes double boxed with the original zeiss box and styrofoam inserts.

I don't know what this thread is about .... did Joe send a lens/camera to someone because of ... ?

[yossarian]

Guys, you get a very interesting substance if you mix gasoline with those styrofoam
chips; not that I've ever actually done it...

the zeiss ikon went back to popflash because of it not focussing at infinity.
it will be back soon.

Maybe he sent you a black professional version this time, but this would make you silver/chrome lenses look, 'er, unprofessional.

Kiddie stuff. I've since moved on to far more destructive forms of entertainment.










Only kidding. I haven't even made the 'homemade napalm' described above.

Thanks for the clarification. Is this one of the new Zeiss lenses ?

[back alley]

frank, i'm not a professional.

Hehe.

Agreement can be DANGEROUS

A U.S. Marine squad was marching north of Basra when they came upon an Iraqi terrorist, badly injured and unconscious. On the opposite side of the road was an American Marine in similar but less serious state.

The Marine was conscious and alert and as first aid was given to both men, the squad leader asked the injured Marine what had happened.

The Marine reported, "I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road. I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein is a miserable, lowlife, scumbag, and he yelled back that Congressman Tom DeLay is a good-for-nothing, lying, thieving, power-hungry worthless son-of-a-bitch. So I said that Osama Bin Ladin dresses and acts like a frigid, mean spirited woman!"

He retaliated by yelling, "Oh yeah? Well so does Ann Coulter!"

"And, there we were, standing in the middle of the road, shaking hands, when a truck hit us."

Are you going to have customs hassles - e.g. getting double hit?

Of course you can appeal and will get a refund in 6-10 weeks

[back alley]

it was sent as a repair, we'll see.
