Thanks so much for the reply. I will try to send it to you on this Wednesday with regular post office package mail in US. Shipping is on me.

Warmest,

Hi Bernd,

I only manage to ship it on Monday April 14, 2008 and I use the regular post office mail without insurance or any traking. It is the tax season over in the US and I only manage to find the time today to ship it.

Over the weekend, I try to test the lens the first time after I bought it, my LBA get me lens not used until giving it away. I thought the Sears 135mm f/2.8 is quite good but I test it with my newly arrived used K10D and I was not getting the sharpness that I would expect from the lens, it is very soft at open aperture. I hope it is the JPG setting that I have not fine tuned, I am somewhat disappointed with the gift to you. The lens hood and the glass is clean but the focusing ring seems not precise. To make it up for the disappointment, I add in a leather picture frame. A picture or two while packaging and on its the long way to UK.

Cheers,
Hin

Package and PM to winner of February -- bt*ist. I want to go on for awarding March competition, but the award shipping has taken a toll on me for international winners. I am done for now unless I find myself selling most of my "to be sold" section of my camera gear
