I heard about Shintaro in Japan, is painting M bodies in black for $ 400.- I'd like to send this camera since I've bought it very cheap a couple of years ago or so. Some questions to some of you who maybe have sent it to Shintaro's beauty salon. - - How did you feel dealing with Shintaro ? - - Do you think that his work deserves the 400 bucks ? - - How did you ship the camera ? FedEx , UPS....? or what ? - - What about customs when returning the camera back to you ? - - How long did Shintaro take to release the painted body ? - - How much was shipping to Japan ? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I know there are lots of questions and comments to be done. Maybe someone has the answers, I'll appreciate to you to share any comment and/or experience. Thanks Pablo
