Yep, Thats UPS for ya...usually they come at like 8pm and im thinking..hell..might as well come the next day..i cant take landscape pics at night in louisiana lol. Lately been using fedex cause they come by around 1pm

(Which my Sigmalux should be coming in at about 1pm tomorrow )

Yep they come around 1 pm alright. Just had a package come yesterday at 1pm but....I paid for 1-3 days air and guess what I got it on day FIVE! I had been calling them everyday after it didn't arrive when it was supposed to and the customer rep said he would be putting in a claim because there is a money back guarantee so I will get back some of the $70.00 that I paid to get it here.
Soooo moral of the story is.....there can be trouble with any shipper!

It started off from Boise ID but they delay happened when it got to Mississauga, Ont. Then it sat there for two days before coming to Thunder Bay, Ont. It sucks having to be Canadian and 99% of any gear I order or in this case a converter for my 5th wheel trailer have to be ordered from the US because Canada never has the stuff or the prices are so outrageous!

oh the border, that explains it

delay because of customs etc... nothing that shipper can really help.

No it went through the border no problem, fedex said it was either the airlines couldn't go due to weather or a plane malfunction.

Waiting for RF-602's and umbrella, light stands, etc..

Wow lucky you. Looking at your gear I see you have a collection of them awesome L's. I wish!!

Thanks Chatty. I've had my eye on this lens for about a year now and after researching and reading all the posts on this forum concerning the pros and cons, I've finally decided to take the plunge. I was somewhat concerned regarding the slow focus issues with it as I mostly shoot photos of my young nephews and nieces, who seemingly can stand still for more than a few seconds at a time, so I'll officially designate this as my "sit down, shut up and let me take your picture" lens. I'm quite keen to test it at apertures below 2.8. Should be interesting.

Waiting is over, just a brown truck guy left about 3.5 hours ago, a new beloved camera, MAMIYA 7II with an additional battery [In separate box], i am almost happy 50% because it is only body, no lens, so i want to complete the happiness and get a lens.

Waiting for a panoramic digital MF back (612 or 617) with a high-sensitivity Foveon sensor capable of clean ISO 3200-12800 (so shots at f/22-f/45 don't require such long shutter speeds), together with medium-format 21mm, 28mm, 35mm and 50mm tilt-shift lenses.

Waiting on a Gitzo 1541T, Markins Q3T Ballhead, RRS L-plate, RRS quick release, 77mm CPL, 52mm CPL, 77mm 10 stop ND, 77mm 3 stop ND, Copperhill sensor cleaning kit, 2x Diffusers for 430ex Flashes, Wireless remote shutter release. It will take a bout a month for it to get here... APO addresses suck =p
