Karen,

You mentioned that you had your Jupiter-11 (9?) calibrated by Oleg 
Khalyavin who apparently lives in Russia.  You obviously seem pleased 
with his work.  I also have a Jupiter-9 which needs tweaking.  I was 
wondering how long did it take to get your lens back?  Also how did you 
ship it so that it wouldn't get lost?  I am a bit nervous about sending 
a lens so far.  I do like that lens.

BTW, I especially like the photo of the Belvedere.
