Sorry, 1st run through and I didn't see your name, but checked again... :oops:
There's no shortage of folks who want to host... With 3 in the US it should get to you sooner, if we can just get people to shoot, post, and mail it on... We've got one stuck right now ;)

Out of curiosity, what's the general turnaround time on each lens? I figured most people would hold onto it for a day or two, then send it on. Seems more like they're taking extended vacations at each stop.

We usually ask that people move the lens on after 2 weeks or so..
People do have responsibilities such as work, family or school so the ability to go out and shoot can be limited to just week ends for some.
I think we all like to see where people live and what interests them.

How appropriate. Seeing as I have the soon to be retired Euro Nifty, we went to an Oktoberfest yesterday.

Please remember, I live in a very small town. :p The main street downtown is only four blocks long.

Hey gang - life kind of came crashing in recently so apologies for the delay. Nifty moved on to Gabe on Saturday and should be in his hands soon! I will go through my photos ( I had a fantastic time with this lens! ) this weekend and get some up to share this weekend.

:D

It just sucked because I only used it twice, mostly because the pictures that are yielded are horrible.

Or, we could cheat a little bit and I could post some 'stand in' shots from my personal nifty. Kind of like a ghost man. :lol:

I don't have a problem with you posting some photos with your other nifty. I ended up doing the same when the Euro Nifty died with me. I took and used my Nifty in places where I wouldn't normally have used it, so I consider that a valid substitute.

Hey everyone. Sorry for the delay called life. I just sent out nifty. Tracking # 1ZW68R130326822418 :)

We can ship the new nifty to someone else so the line will shorten. I will just use some shots from my own nifty to fill the void of where adorama nifty would be.

Nifty went to dinner with us last night, at a place called......

Yeah, I hope they aren't alive. :p

One would think that with a name like that, they'd have a nautical theme inside.

Then of course, this morning, now that it's dark when I get to work, I've been waiting to see what the courtyard looks like with the lights on.....

More to come.......
