Um... LOL! I obviously haven't been reading around either because I haven't seen similar, but sadly don't doubt it's happened.

Steve Beswick · 05-01-2009, 05:53 PM

I'd love to be on the list too - I'm in Southern California, USA.

Also, I'm not sure if Ibams original idea was for all and sundry to get the lens. To be fair, let's keep the list to Members of this forum.

just in time for great summer photos!

KrisK10D · 05-09-2009, 08:30 PM

It will get there guys. It's done a lot of travelling and only a couple of people to go here so be patient. This was never going to be a quick process.
