Hi Doris,

        actually that may not be so far of the mark, for here in Australia
where this sheep dip thread came to life, we also have a strong live
sheep export market to the Middle East.  So I wouldn't be suprised if
dey dipped da sheep before loading dem on da ships - you know, the big
bowl shaped ones.

        On the matter of stories buying OM gear at bargain prices well done to
those people!  But if you really want to test your skill, come to
Australia, the tiny size of our new ,used and private sale camera market
 and our unfavourable exchange rate with and distance from, the majority
of the Oly rich nations would dampen the spirits and test the patience
of the most skilled and experienced Oly bargain hunter.  I'd imagine
there are many other list members from other countries in the same boat,
so to speak.
        
        On that matter I took advantage of a three day business trip to
Allentown PA, USA where I had KEH ship me a number of Oly items (Vivitar
Series 1 35-85mm F2.8, Oly slide copier attachment to bellows, and TTL
Auto Cord F10M).  I was in e-mail contact with the sales guy at KEH to
arrange the order and have it express shipped to my hotel during my
stay.  This is the second time in six months I have done this and on
both occassions the items were delivered on time and as described.
Certainly beats the US$65.00 it would have cost to have them shipped to
Australia.  I know this is not a bargain in US parlance but it aint too
bad from an Australian viewpoint and certainly worth the double dose of
jetlag.

Regards
S.C.
