Man, I wish I had a Nikon just so I could join in on this. This sounds so fun!

You could use an adaptor? The lens has an aperture ring so you could change it that way but it wouldn't meter of course so the camera would have to be in manual.

Annnnnnndddddd.....here it is, nearly one month later, and the lens appears to have stalled on its journey, yet again. Apparently DirtyDFeckers has not fulfilled his responsibility....

Sigh...

Oh no! I've been watching this thread for some time... I was so sad when the lenses got lost the first time, but now it's lost again?!

I LOVE this concept, simply amazing! I hope the last person decides to be a good person and send the package along.

So when do we go report the lens AWOL and alert the MPs?

Yeah....here it is a month and a day later,and DirtyDFeckers has not fulfilled his responsibility.

DirtyDFeckers last logged onto TPF on July 2, 2011. I just sent him an e-mail and a Private Message. Needless to say, neither one is all "happy-happy". Come on man--isn't there a military post office within a three minute walk on whatever base you're at, world-wide?
