Those of us inthe US who are a certain age, know thongs as shoes, or psuedo shoes. :) The newer generation will look at you funny though, if you say you wore your thongs on your feet. What they call thongs, are, to some of us, disgusting examples of a wedgie!

The Adorama Nifty went home due to some issues.
A brand new Nifty was sent in its place. I shot with it for a couple of weeks, and sent it off this past weekend to Shutterbug Doug.

Pretty sure the plan was to have Adorama Nifty tour the U.S. for a while to help cut the list down.

Ok, if we could please bump CW Jones down to the end since he is unable to host Nifty due to some Natural Disaster in his area. As we wish him luck it seems footballdude2k3 is up next, so i have sent him a PM.

ok... it has been 3 weeks since the Euro Nifty was posted...
I expect either a lost nifty, a held in customs nifty or a dead nifty...

I can't believe how difficult it seems to be to send these things around! Has anyone got any details on the Euro Nifty?
Am interested as I am next in line.. Would have been nice to have it here during the Autumn. Was great weather and some fantastic colours this year.

I sent it First Class mail on October 14th 2011 and was told I could not get a tracking number for international mail. I do have a Customs Declaration with a number. I will start an inquiry within the next couple of days if I do not hear from Robuk.

Nifty is in Georgia and traveling to the UGA vs UK game tomorrow and with his big brother the 1:1.4 to a high school basketball preseason tournament tomorrow night. I'll have pictures to post by Sunday. It's also going to a high school wrestling meet Tuesday. I'll try and take some "purdy" shots with it too while i'm out and about with it too. I'm the local fish wrapper sports photographer so we can showcase it's sports ability while it's here, as long as the focus can keep up with my 7D.:razz: It might even get to a UGA basketball game too!

It's been two weeks since we have seen any images.
With all the Nifty lenses that are out there, SOMEBODY's got to have SOMETHING to post.
