Subject: [Leica] FS: Leica R gear- FEEDBACK INFO from BLONDE Phx +++++

All,

 I bought a lens from Ken two weeks ago and I can tell you that, 
following BEAY description standards, Ken rates high and is a +++++ seller.

Description of item     = 4/5 * see note ;-)
Fast transaction         = 5/5
Shipping/wrapping     = 6/5
Communications        = 10/5

This is my experience. Should others want to try, I' bet a horse they 
will be as pleased as I.

NOTE: Ken had described the lens as a bit wobbly - wobbly it was, until 
after contacting Doug for expertise, and Ken for more information, I 
discovered that what I [ I ], felt wobbly was in fact the "collapsible 
hood" I could have been a blonde, and certainly will be in a later life. 
So 4/5 is kiddingly due to Ken not describing the lens collapsible 
capabilites. It is wobbly, but so little now. :-[

Buyer's blondeness = 12?/5
Seller's honesty = 25/5
