Some of you may recall that I was looking for a "first lens" for that 6x7 that I swiped in an auction last week. Impatient as I am, I soon gave up on finding something I wanted on ebay and turned to my standby, KEH. Well they offered a 150/2.8 for $285, which is below the "buy it now" price of a current ebay offering. (And since it's approximately the equivalent of an 85 in 35mm speak, and considering that portraits of beautiful women are my current passion, it was a good place to start.) So I figured, not bad. Let's do it. I ordered it Wednesday night and stipulated UPS two-day air delivery, assuming that would get it here Monday and give me some time to play with it over the holidays. Yesterday I got a notice from UPS indicating that it had been shipped via ground and would be delivered on Thursday, the 27th. Major bummer. So I called KEH and whined. They called UPS and discovered that it was mishandled in the KEH shipping department. Then, KEH called me and told me they were sending another lens of the same grade via overnight so that it would be delivered on Monday. They said I could use this lens until the other arrived, then decide which one I wanted to keep and send the other one back! They're good. I love them.
