I sent it to Stoogley and have the confirmation from Markw that Stoogley received it along with the mail confirmation. Im not sure whats going on but hopefully soon we will hear.
edit: Stoogley received the lens on 3-14-12 according to Markw.
@ Kazooie.. lets hope that didnt happen..lol... i am towards the bottom of the list and would love to get my hands on it.. i hope this is not a repeat from the 1st round as the OP mentioned in the first post...cant wait to shoot with this lens.
Stoogley messaged me on Sunday saying he was just about finished and would send the lens out shortly. It's been a week now. I messaged him today, though. So, we'll see.
Hooray, that means--hopefully--that it'll be on its way to Derrell soon, and then I'm next!!
Great timing, because I just finished a 3 month, nearly full-time contract job (in addition to my REGULAR full-time job) that left me with no time to shoot. After Easter, I should have more time available, and I'm already making plans for what to shoot with the travelling lens!
