OK, there has been some rumblings about having a second Nikki travel around the world. Nikki is an 85mm 1.8 so let's do Nikki's mom the 8.5cm 2 rangefinder.
I am ready to embark on this with the 8.5cm 2.0 in the center of the photo below. I have two others, one recently acquired in great cosmetic condition. The one I plan to send around has perfect glass, aperture, focusing, no dings but the chrome is a little scratched - any additional scratches would be a great memento of it being used well.
I will send the 8.5cm 2.0 S mount to anyone that wishes to try it out, about a month each person, we can pay the shipping forward, will ship to the first person who then ships to second etc. If any shipping that is far and expensive can be negotiated.
Will include some inexpensive but functional adapters for it to go on mirrorless.
If interested in participating PM me and tell me which mount you need, do not need your address at this time. I will coordinate the movements and this will be a relaxed trips, about a month each person.
As I'm now the owner (thanks to Ben) of Nikki, I think this is a great idea. But please Rafael, set up a blog similar to the one we had with Nikki so we can have it for prosperity. I hope there will be some who will join up for this adventure, it was certainly fun when Nikki went around the world.
That is a great idea Leight, but not sure how to do that, please advise. Also plase advise on practical rules of the road, like publihing here the list of who wanted the lens using their Miranda screen names only, will also say who has the lens by screen name. No other information will be given, no real names, certainly no addresses. Addresses will be given only to the sender for the next shipment, etc. Really, please advise, but you can trust me, I have a top secret clearance!
