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.
