I too have not seen one of his finished cameras in the flesh, but the five that he has on eBay right now look fabulous. I have purchased a lens from Youxin, and find that he describes his stuff very conservatively. If he tells me that the paint job is really good on this latest batch, after telling me about the things he didn't like about the ones he painted before, then I believe that these are very high quality indeed. If someone from this group buys one of these, I'd love to hear a report. Youxin has a few future projects in mind, like putting a M mount on a black painted IIIg or making up black paint IIIf Swedish army version lookalikes. I'm drooling......
