I thought everyone would be interested to know that I got my shipment from
Jaap. Everything was in excellent condition, probably better than his
ratings. I received:
35/2.8 - this is a nice lens. The only 35 I had was the /2 and it's big. I
like this one
65-200/4 - I've been wanting this lens and it's everything I'd hoped. I'll
try it at a soccer game tonight and see how the pictures are.
250 back - this was a silly purchase, but his price was good and it's a nice
addition to the collection. Doesn't include the cartridges, so if it's to
be more than a 'museam piece' I need to find some.
Motor Drive 1 - this is LNIB. Doesn't include a power unit, but my MD2 came
with a spare Nicad pack and charger, so now I have a complete MD1 with
nicads. Great for the price. I like the MD2, but the MD1 does everything I
need. I'm not stuck on power rewind.
Medium brown case - this is the Olympus case. Kind of 'retro'. Won't use
it as a case, just as a backdrop to the cameras. Cheap...
I guess that's it. It took 3 weeks from shipping to arrival. No duties
charged, although I'll be sure to contact customs and volunteer to pay
whatever was appropriate (right after I stop in at the IRS to make a
voluntary additional contribution...for my country).
My only suggestion to Jaap was to find a way to simplify payment. Wire
transfers are difficult and expensive.
Off to play with my toys.
