Aaaaaaaah Mexico!!

 

[Justman1020]

Thats where the lens ran away to...its hiding...from the long arm of the law. got it.

 

[Justman1020]

I will sleep so much better at night knowing that our lens is safe, on a boat somewhere off the coast of cancun.

[ratssass]

sad...such a simple concept..

 

[MartinCrabtree]

So what's the story? Do we have a thief in the mix?

 

[Tee]

I messaged the person who has the lens since I'm in the same area for a few months and offered to pick it up. He was waiting to hear from MarkW on what to do next.

 

[ratssass]

...not to be callous , but is markw still with us? living-wise?Either way,I'm guessing he would prefer his project moves forward.Did he request that the lens end its journey where it is?If so,that's it.If not,whats the problem?If it's financial hardship,or other issues on the current possessor,I can't imagine why Tee would be forbidden from "picking up the ball" and advancing.
I'm not on the list to use,but I thought it was a neat project,and to me it just seems that if the location of the lens is known,but can't go forward...well,its just a microcosm of the American way.
Is there more to the story,that we don't see??
BTW,if it's financial hardship,where do I send $5.00 to get this going,again?

.........BTW,if it's financial hardship,where do I send $5.00 to get this going,again?

I tried that once before. Mark & I went halfsies on this lens after the first one went AWOL.

Or perhaps we can just contact the person with the lens ourselves and get the ball rolling again.

Since I'm back from overseas I think I might need to hop in on this project.

The way things are going, it doesn't seem like anyone else will get the lens anytime soon.

 

[thebasedsloth]

I STILL have the lens! I'm STILL waiting for Mark to come get it, like he said he wanted to

 

[ratssass]

 

[480sparky]

Well, I'll tell ya what.

Since Mark seems to be out of the loop, I'll take the bull by the horns. I'll contact the next name on the list (Chris Stegner) and try to make contact. If I can't, I'll just start working my way down the list until I find someone who's willing have the lens shipped to them.
