Feels like they are having problems in answering to demand. Good for Ricoh I guess.

It's partly my fault. I pre-ordered on the day it became available, but when CRK later had a 15% off store-wide sale, I cancelled my initial pre-order to save a few (hundred) bucks.

No doubt my lens went down the priority order accordingly. I'm not really complaining

Hey 15% off is worth the wait, I keep telling myself that as I sit by the mail box waiting for the delivery man............

Slightly excited, I just checked the tracking on my lens delivery, apparently it is waiting at the post office

In like Flynn - with a lens I realise I have not actually Singled at all (it's the only one I haven't done): my Sigma 70 (or 100... not sure) to 300 mm zooooooom.

Gonna be an interesting month. xP

But at least it can go macro (well, close(-ish) focus, at any rate), for the other end of things too

edit: just checked - it's 70-300

I’m going to jump back in. I need the Single In mentality to get me thinking creatively again. Been a lot of the same old stuff lately. More forum reading than actual photography. I’ll kick off the M zoom club with the 75-150 F4

Well, it arrived so looks like I am in with the 85mm. First photo and the combo nailed the focus on the eye, so far so good, roll on August

Thanks Ismo, I am thinking of it as my Covid treat to lift the spirits. Sandy and I ordered around the same time at the 15% off sale so I'm pretty sure it is heading his way now.

I think you can Sandy, perhaps check the tracking number on the invoice

Haven't made up my mind on August whether to participate or not. Guess I'll have to figure it out tomorrow.
