It's lucky we can't afford to send a Leica around the world.

Boy, I can imagine the fight to be that 'One stop.' Blood would flow I'm sure :devil:

It's won't be mine that's flowing!

We can have a lotto to see who gets to be that one stop...

Excellent idea... so if we all chip in to buy the camera... it will obviously have to start with me.... :devil:

OK, but I'll have to deliver it to you in person.

I am willing in donate my M7 if you all promise to take care of it and not keep it.

I promise. I think you should post it to me first!

Either this is a very sarcastic person, or a very silly one

You're absolutely right, Mike. I've changed my mind, and decided not to donate $3K+ worth of gear as the next travelling camera. Thanks for setting me straight.

After some delay (self inflicted due to failing memory - i.e. forgetting to bring it to work to post at lunchtime five days in a row!) the camera is now on its way to Jake (Black Dog).

I have asked the nice postman not to let anyone have it until he gets a signature.

The currently not broken Canon will be on its way to its next victim on Monday.

Note: I didn't say which Monday!

Can we have an update to see who's winning... I mean where the cameras are now?

Steve.

I think I'm winning. My second shot was rushed, so I'm going back in about 3 weeks to re-shoot... but this time with the 5x7 or 8x10. 35mm gets it done, but larger contact prints have so much more feeling.

The UK/Europe camera has now got further than it's counterpart did last time:

Track & Trace

Your item with reference AI916585021GB was delivered from our **** Delivery Office on 09/02/12 .

Over to you Jake....

I just sent Ralph a PM to check on the status of the Nikon (8.1). He told me a little while ago that he took the shot, so hopefully the camera will reach me shortly for processing & scanning. Looks like we may have both cameras at the finish line at around the same time!

Yes but you all cheated.

Every person has to shoot at least one picture. Including Lisa.

So go back and do it again.

Tim,

Mmmm, Sile was ok with us subbing Ralph for Lisa. You just want 8.1 never to return to home base... ;-)

I want both of them back safe and sound so we can all enjoy the contents.

It's ok to cheat as long as I win.... er I mean we win

Shawn Rahman · Feb 22, 2012

Is everyone fast asleep? Hasn't even been a full year, folks. Where's the enthusiasm? These babies are almost home...

Steve Smith · Feb 22, 2012

We haven't heard from Black Dog (Jake) since the camera was delivered to him twelve days ago. Hello..... are you there?!!.....

There's no film in them. This was just a practice run!

OMG - Black Dog has finally figured out the Sure Shot is a rare and valuable collectors item. Well, at least it has more frequent Flyer Miles than any of us.
