Also how did you ship it so that it wouldn't get lost? I am >a bit nervous about sending a lens so far. I do like that lens. I'm thrilled with his work. I wouldn't send my Leicas to him, but all of my <$200 cameras go to him now. I send him about 10 cameras at a time, so I save a bit on bulk shipping. His turnaround for me is about 2 weeks. I send things by Global Priority Mail, which takes about a week. He send back by registered mail, which takes about 3 weeks. So the total is about 6 weeks round trip. I haven't lost anything yet. For customs reasons, he asks people to only declare up to $100 value on mail going to him. >BTW, I especially like the photo of the Belvedere. Thanks!
