Rick -

I have bought one M lens from Don Chatterton and would use him again
without hesitation.  I thought his grading was very conservative, and
have had no reason to try to return anything to him.  I have rented M
lenses from Tamarkin, quite satisfactorily, but haven't bought from
them.

Cheers,
Kip
