Get your chickens (sheep?) ready...
The Leica is in the mail on its way to Washington state.

Hooray, the race is back on
Will it be the Stylus or the Leica crossing the finishing line first (or perhaps a chicken or a sheep!)? :munch: I say the Leica, but I'm biased

Oh, goodie! I already have my shots planned, though my Speedo seems to have shrunk in the wash...
Can we possibly convince you to take a shot of your shrunken speedos drying on the line?
Yeah- the red ones with white polka dots!

What's more worrisome? That he has these, or that you know that he does?
I can't believe he even wants to see them!:eek:

Ever since he saw Sile's, he's wanted some just like hers!
Can one still enter this round? Or would I have to wait for round 10?

You will have to wait.
Sorry - the inquiry is greatly appreciated, but Round 9 is currently full.
Round 10? I can hear the moans and groans already!
Stay tuned; the cameras are being readied somewhere by someone. Plenty of room for all in Round 10 - if we EVER get there.
Ok. FingersX'd.
Can volunteer a (nikon) camera if required. But not sure if the lenses gonna be around.

You should instead volunteer an M7 with Noctilux. And send it to me first.

Hahaha. How I wish. Would an Rb67 do?

Some good news and bad news...
The good news is: I know where the camera is -- it's in my house.
The bad news is: I know where the camera is -- it's in my house.
Some Japan Post guy came to my door tonight (I was expecting my package from Amazon) and after a fairly convoluted discussion in Japanese (which I really don't understand), we were able to determine that JapanPost has figured out that there is some kind of "machine" in my package (a.k.a. "the camera") that has a battery in it, which is apparently very dangerous ("security very very"). So looks like I'll have to remove the battery in order to get it out of the country. I suppose I could just keep it in the box, outside of the camera, but I have a feeling I'd just get another knock on the door reminding me of the very very security risk I have on a package covered in Hello Kitty stamps.
So there'll be a slight delay (I'll get it out tomorrow or this weekend), and I guess I can be pretty confident that the x-rays they used to scan the package will have erased the beautiful, but rare, three-horned Japanese unicorn (smaller than the regular kind, of course) that I managed to capture in the bamboo grove at my university.

Rachelle - your post made my day. Sounds like a funny encounter you had with the JapanPost guy. And what personal service, too!
Please take as long as you need! Also - send it to Fred without the battery. I'll send a replacement battery to him so it is ready for him by the time he gets the camera.
Finally - don't worry about the rare Unicorn not showing up. We can always photoshop her in. :

Hm, you'd think they'd know what a 'camera' is...
Shawn, I have a few 123s scattered about, no need to post me one.
Three-horned UNIcorn... Wouldn't that make it a TRIcorn? Or am I confusing it with a Revolutionary War-era hat of no practical use?

Fred is working without battery ? So on what kind of energy he is relying to post ? Solar ?
If I dare, I wouldn't even venture that is can be of course... natural gas !
It's OK, as long as the camera isn't on the loose in the moose's house...
Cheers,
Raphael

Rachelle:
Did you ask if you could send the camera with a chicken installed?

Or exploding Macintosh computers - the PRAM batteries on the older Macs are notorious for exploding once they get past 10 years of age. Typically damage the motherboard enough that it can be a total loss.
