Michael:

Dr. Joseph Yao's email address is joseph@yao.com .  He is an Emergency room 
Surgeon by trade, but also distributes cameras through his families 
business.  He is very reputable and easy to deal with.  I just purchased a 
new 50mm Summicron-R from him just before Christmas.  A few years ago I 
also bought a 15mm Heliar from him.

Joseph is in Singapore this week, but he may be checking his email.

Regards,

Robert
