Nice work. The sign of maybe Ive been doing photography too long is when I looked at your first image and thought "camera bags?"

I was surprised that not only does it bounce, but swivels too.

No actually, the Pen f.

After my email to MPB asking why after a week my camera still hadn't been sent, Amelia looked into it. It then went out the same day around 4PM and I received it the next day by noontime. I chose a camera body rated Excellent, and what I received exceeded my expectations. Buying a used body, I expected to open the box and find the body in the middle somewhere wrapped in bubble wrap. What I found was the original packaging of the camera, with the manual, the operational CD, all the cables, the charger and battery plus the two extra batteries I purchased, and something I had no idea I was getting, the small flash in it's own little carry case that came with the original outfit when new. I had to looked really hard to find any marks on the body that would tell me that this camera was used and not brand new. So although my experience with MPB was off to a slow start, they turned things around and I couldn't be more pleased with the final outcome.

Good to hear.

A quick recap from me. I ordered a body and a couple accessories from MPB on Feb 24, and received and email confirming my order. They said they would send another email when it goes out. A week later, still no email. So I got in touch with them through email, Amelia apologized and said she would look into it. 6 hrs later I received another email saying it had been packed up and was awaiting Fed Ex. The Fed Ex website showed that to to be true. I'm not happy about the week delay, but pleased that they acted quickly when the problem was brought to their attention.

Thanks for your reply. I will call them tomorrow

Id like to know if the eight days was from when you ordered it, or from the email they send saying it was sent out. I'm trying to be patient, but feel like I should call.,

Hmmmm. This is discouraging. I recently purchased a used camera from them as a first time buyer, and received a confirmation email on Feb 24. They said they would send me an email when it was shipped. Today is March 3 and still no email. Maybe I'm spoiled after dealing with B&H all these yrs and receiving my gear in 3 days. I had read good things on this site from others (in todays replies as well) but can't help wondering why it would take so long to throw a body and two batteries in to a box and ship it.

Thanks very much

OCF. Off camera flash. I rarely use flash, much less off camera flash. Next to me in a parking garage was this Karmann Ghia in beautiful condition, red with whitewall tires. So I decided to try the remote flash on it. Some may say you can't see the whole car, but I kinda of like just some of it's lines. 1/250 sec @ f/22 helped to darken the background significantly. Do you have a favorite view?

Jerry.....same train.
