Just waiting for tracking number (and then arrival and then see if it works and then if my computer has problems :shock: )

For anybody that wants one, Massey's camera in Williamsburg, VA can get you one if you call them real quick before they cancel the one I was getting and Canon decided to ship today after telling them it would be end of Nov/mid-Dec so they had told me to go ahead and look for one on my own and of course I had found one and had just paid for it when they let me know theirs was coming in tomorrow.

They can be reached at 757-229-3181 You need to call them in the next hour to make sure they are getting it in still and have until tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday 23 Nov) if they have decided to let the order come to them anyway.

Just thought I would let you know.

P.S. for Belmondo, If all is as it seems, Yes of course, I will let you play with it this Christmas when I am visiting my mom.

How do know it is not DHL or FedEx truck?

Maybe to make sure it makes to me I have two of them delivering empty boxes and have them disguise the real box as Porta 160 film or a dress for one of my models. :twisted: 8) :twisted:


BTW: I now have tracking number, one step closer.

My paranoia is also starting to show itself, just wondering if it is for real despite all my checking - looks good so far.

Just look for the white van labeled surveillance truck on the side with a license plate reading FT. Meade
8)

A UPS or Fed Ex truck would be way too suspicious for my 1DsMkII delivery.

Lastly, if I really wanted to make sure you didn't ambush it, I could have had it sent to my day job work address. (Think F-15s and armed security guards)
