Sometimes there's an advantage to having broadband as well as the time zone difference. I was the first bidder and Charles sent it to me immediately by EMS. It's a gorgeous lens and I didn't realize it came with the original box and warrantee card. It arrived last night and I immediately went over to Fujiya Camera and bought a Leica R lens to Canon EOS body adapter. I took the lens out on my lunch break today. The results were very nice, I think: http://photoethnography.com/gallery/paw2004/index25.html I agree with Doug Herr that this lens weighs a ton and a half. That's my only complaint. Oh, and Tina must have eagle eyes, I had problems focusing it accurately. Karen -- Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/
