I have a lens that I would like to do a test with. Slobodan D.

There is a Japanese camera company, Hayata Camera ( http://www.hayatacamera.co.jp/services/miyazaki/index.html#005), which offers this service. Their web site appears to offer this service for a variety of lenses including the Contax 45/2 Planar. However, I do not speak Japanese and cannot communicate with the Hayata Camera Company to request this service. I have heard from an intermediary (who is not in Japan) that Hayata does not deal with overseas requests and that payment is in cash only (50,400 Yen). Hence, someone in Japan has to ship the lens to Hayata and pay in cash. I need help from someone in Japan who would be willing to be an intermediary for this transaction (receive the lens, an M-body and payment and forward the same to Hayata, and then ship the re-mounted lens and camera back to me). Do we have any LUGgers with the time and/or inclination to help?
