I think I'm supposed to be on the list for the U.S. tour. I was added a few days ago. See OzzRod's post #1625. Thanks!

Order in the usa isn't important to me if locations are closer together I am happy to shift my position.

Perhaps when the lens arrives over there someone local or those in the list take over managing the list, probably best as they know the area, same for in Europe too I suggest. What do you all think?

I think it's quite appropriate that any management of the list be undertaken by the current holder of the lens and that it moves on with the lens. It's not rocket science

Yes I agree, I ask as maybe in the past the job has been done by one person.

I'm also perfectly okay with the existing order of the list, or an altered one. Whatever's clever.

Makes sense, a good general rule to adopt.

The nifty 50 is ready to move on, I have sent a PM to "severalsnakes" who was the next on the list. If all goes to plan the lens will ship Monday 18th.

It's gonna take until the summer for the lens to get to you anyway

I don't think there's any point of removing you at the moment.

Okay, nice to hear

I've got 'er again! ^_^ The lens arrived today - I haven't opened the box yet, but it looks in good shape, so I'll assume all is well.

Here's how I understand the next stops will run. I just copied and pasted the previous list, so someone let me know if something has changed.

Uncle Vanya -- Mint Hill, NC -- USA
hmirchev -- USA
vZwicky -- Chatawa, MS -- USA
ivanvernon -- Medina, OH -- USA

Giklab -- Slovenia
pentaphil -- Dortmund -- Germany

Can't wait to take it out again! :-)
